Do You Think All Politicians Release Their Tax Returns? Not Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid

Nancy Pelosi has refused to release her tax records
Newsmax - Democrats shouting the loudest about Mitt Romney’s reluctance to release his tax returns do not apply the same standards to themselves, according to a McClatchy News Service report. Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California and Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the two Democratic leaders of the Senate and the House of Representatives, are among hundreds of elected officials from both parties who refused to release their tax records, McClatchy reported. Pelosi said Romney was unfit to serve as President or even in the Cabinet because of his refusal so far to release all of his returns and Reid said Romney wasn’t even fit to be dogcatcher. But just 17 out of the 535 members of Congress released their most recent tax forms or provided some similar documentation of their tax liabilities in response to requests from McClatchy over the last three months, the news service reported, indicating a double standard. Another 19 members flat out refused and the rest didn’t even bother to respond to McClatchy’s request. Pelosi aides flat out said no, saying she’s disclosed all that Congress requires.
