Are Romney's taxes the new "birth certificate"?

-- -- Good morning. The talk fiber show brought to my network capital funding corporation your future five and joke that fell right to buy the -- -- car buying maybe easy and Joseph Maddon felt Boston. Oral reading made easy how are you sir. And yeah you it could have you release your tax returns yes. I don't see why we should read what you write in the Harold if we don't know more about your financial life. You consider if you want it's pretty ugly. But it's it's it's one of those postcards that for Governor Perry is talking her carry -- around with a I -- that's what I do to so -- I don't pay taxes again thanks much for ten virus yeah. I think that all Harry Reid saying it's still I mean the it's been going on almost a week now. And I think it's really touched the nerve with people especially Republicans obviously because. I'd say I hope productive and other voters because this is a case where. A Democrat instinct and being completely outrageous unfounded allegation. That's the kind of thing that Democrats always complained that Republicans are doing. You know the whole political discourse and our leaders and to them it's the same but I. So do you think it -- that everybody is is they're a downside is that -- -- saying for Barack Obama being the sleazy as president in modern memory. But they -- the site -- I think they're throwing people out trying to charge like this. And make it look like it'll really look like you're desperate is what do you make it look like because. England guy like Jon Stewart for going out there and argued that -- that -- terrible look for the democratic area read. You know this is a bad mistake. Well I may go wait a second wait a second it's not a mistake. If he is desperate and their calculation is there is no way to win. Other then. To absolutely. Ravaged. The reputation. Of Mitt Romney in other words to fight like a trapped animal. And try to tear apart the opposition and may -- get lucky and have people not blame for it enough that he loses. Well but this is a ridiculous but this is an. It's one thing you're gonna get trapped into -- but it was fighting like a rabid animal that's crazy because -- didn't end -- -- Obama I think. Because there reflects on him and now the White House is being asked about it. Do you agree with you -- every Democrat the world have been asked about do you think it's right. And many are saying yeah I don't see anything wrong and it. It is -- Obama is not saying that so I do I do believe that it's gone way too far in this case and you're getting it. Image back because it. And it it average voters he would play well I think I would work a lot of them out there's say okay Mitt Romney's taxes yeah whatever release them. But they don't think there. The great to be able to be running around making completely baseless allegations. It's just it's so he wouldn't do it -- -- and Elizabeth Warren term. It's silly what he's going because I don't like even -- roll it out there. And and you know it somebody pulled him out there that this is better ways of doing it from raising questions about them that's I think it's very. Awkward and make them look bad. Well I agree however I think it's you know it when Republicans came out and started saying Mitt Romney should release his tax returns. They were saying something they couldn't know they only knew half the equation which was politically. It's better to be open. Then to not be open brand by releasing the returns you put the issue away in theory. But they were doing now without the knowledge of the tax -- sitting there in front of them so they were in no position to give advice it may be. We are in no position to give advice there's -- not sitting around with David Axelrod and David plot for Obama's people. And listening to them tell us how it's impossible based on the history of elections in every bit of science. They can construct it's impossible for Barack Obama to win this election. Now I know I mean I agree that that that they've decided that they have to -- down Romney to any yet run otherwise. But I know what you do it this way and such we had such a crazy way in such an overt and -- -- I mean they're they're paired up again are on the tax issue. Although this thing that Harry Reid's doing is just brazen -- really it. Current politics. It won't -- them I'd. I well I think at some point you can get a backlash Lawrence saying I think a lot of voters -- -- reasonable -- I really accident I think. You'd hardly even agree if there's not a there's nothing but air that's going to be a big deal man why don't do it like force yourself to go through this torture. We rely on is why his -- not releasing his taxes. Because -- -- because everything in the tax returns -- somebody were 200 million dollars will be controversial and when you're running against the sleazy just American president. Since World War II at least. Then you have to just keep everything off the table because whatever it is he's got to use it what do you think they're doing vetting the vice president right now they're sitting on there. Thinking about what the scum bag Obama is gonna do with some innocent piece of information to distort it and make it sucked up the media time for two weeks. Right but I don't think ultimately. Voters again it's air about somebody's tax return they can't believe they. Don't care about them but there's an opportunity cost and that is what they do this they timed this for the release. Of the monthly job numbers. Because they didn't want people talking about the horrible Obama economy so they sent Harry Reid out there to make scurrilous accusations. Well message I'd like to thank Harry Reid probably just. In the door opened and decided on on maybe missiles and coordinated attack I don't think I can't believe it gives them that will be the strategy. He recorded text somebody totally Rabin and axes. In popular parents Gilbert what and I think. It doesn't take stupidity it's the media that they need to be stupid. And the media is pathological. And its stupidity. I have a -- children is almost a 100% negative about how to read -- Talked about it and he didn't talk about the jobs numbers. And now is that all that's been the gulf since may they've been doing this every week every all out support we're gonna create something like this yeah well there's only a couple more before the excellence in three more. -- -- -- Yeah I don't think it's you it's gonna work if you throw somebody out there does this mean good summary data and doing this since may the war on -- in the hole that every week for awhile they were doing and to some phony story. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Do apologized for academic without them even yelled at him in China literally thought. Illegal really mean and I obviously saw me open the front like that's what I'm gonna do you. So I guess if it but it sure you go like that they're going you know computer like -- -- But I -- to -- don't think it's gonna work if you let it and that's to be something that makes cents. Joseph -- felt this -- from the Boston Herald for his weekly visit Joseph we're gonna throw curve ball why you see how good you are weren't take some calls are you ready. Can you handle it. Did you get a little -- come up with some Liz -- -- can you give the good for you Cox Mike your WRK a good morning. My call so the president been accused of being a Communist. He got corporate -- -- united American. He got people accused him of being socialist or all sorts -- to all of every. And and Harry rates are some that probably true and Nicole -- -- and all they you know periods. The people on your show or -- -- Korean books or the president not being born here in the United States by the president association with Condit. About the president has been ballclub. And -- retract on that probably actually we all that money has paid less and actions by the percentage and most Americans. That's probably better. Capsule Lima. -- -- your team and a half percent which is more. And 67%. Of Americans. -- It pretty quickly. Percentage you want I was just looking at the rent them early and -- -- -- and 4%. Of taxpayers in this country Mike. Receive a check from the government it's a social program. The bottom 40% on their tax returns yet money -- pay. From the government it's a social program it's a net gain for war no outside of America. Or. Whatever. -- this is the actual effective tax rate paid by Americans by -- files. The bottom 20% get something like 14%. -- It might answer that rates on them on the piece of paper -- matter what matters is after deductions. What do you actually -- The bottom 4%. Money back in the middle child. Leaving only 4% so this covers 60% now the middle and I'll pay 4%. Tax rate effectively. We can I I can look at all great but the line is Mitt Romney who makes millions and millions of dollars and people actually that's a bit like an 18% -- great. And so why can't that. And potentially maybe create note -- -- all -- off the table in terms of something that we need to look at. And why is that that it's very. My department at saint. Person at the time you paid 50% -- as they. Potentially pay all potentially -- an elegant to OK you're gonna go out one out there potentially -- any good you know anybody does anything. That's of the port we're making as if you are -- if you wanted to attack Romney preparing could be restarted -- taxes go ahead. It's but didn't actually. It's taken to another level and so it's a potentially I think nothing at all. Without any information at all you do you have any information to somebody else -- now on our. What is -- potentially. He's left. -- delegate -- I'm not a jolt life goal is really important because one might demonstrated is that deception Mike's a Smart informed guy but he's been effectively -- By the Obama campaign which has distorted this whole thing he doesn't know. That 60% of Americans pay virtually. Nothing and 40% get money back they didn't pay in in the first place. On their effective tax rate so this -- I know but it's but a lot of people. Art deceive Mike wants to know the truth. But he's got a president goes out and lies about reality on a daily basis in order to trick the people pay his salary. It's continuing to employ -- I find that deeply offensive had not -- I gotta take a break.
