God wants everyone to pay taxes
Romans 13:6-7 "Pay your taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid. They are serving God in what they doe. Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor those who are in authority."

Approximately, 1% of tax payers pay 40% of the taxes and about 50% of Americans pay no taxes at all.

Would someone please tell me why Obama thinks it is fair for the rich to pay more? How can the majority of Liberals condemn Governor Romney for only paying an average of 13% of his income for the last ten years when many of their core supporter do not pay anything? On top of his taxes, Romney gives generously to charity, which amounts to over 20% of his yearly income. Compared to many of his opponents that  pay little to nothing into taxes and give nothing to charity.

Governor Romney recently released this statement, "I did go back and look at my taxes and over the past 10 years I never paid less than 13%. I think the most recent year is 13.6 or something like that. So I paid taxes every single year." Did you know that this equates to $21.7 million that he paid into taxes in one year. How much did you pay?

I believe the Democrats have good reason to keep the focus on Romney's taxes. They will do anything to keep the focus off of the important issues that everyone wants to discuss and Obama's record of failure.

Romney identifies this very well, "I just have to say, given the challenges that America faces — 23 million people out of work, Iran about to become nuclear, one out of six Americans in poverty — the fascination with taxes I've paid I find to be very small-minded compared to the brad issues that we face."

What is really appalling the me is many Liberals are very rich as well. In fact, Harry Reid the main instigator behind the effort to push Romney to release his taxes is very rich himself. Is it not hypocritical for him to ask for public release of Romney's tax returns when he has never done so himself?

What about some other very popular rich democrats such as Ted and John Kennedy and John Kerry. Why were they not expected to release their tax returns?

First, we must remember that there is no legal obligation for a political candidate to release his or her taxes in the first place. By doing so, Romney is a pioneer and should be praised for his willingness to do so. As far as  I can remember, he is the first to do it. Whether we want to admit it or not, rich Americans do drive our economy and are major influence on the economy. If we want American to succeed and flourish, we need these people to continue their innovations and build successful businesses that make jobs for the public sector. It does not make sense to support a government that punishes them for their success. If we want our country to continue to be successful, we need a government that rewards their success and applies principles that encourages economic growth.

After 4 years of failure, maybe we need a "change"; someone that understands something about success and business growth. That candidate is Mitt Romney.
