When all is said and done, its becoming painfully obvious that it was George who was first in line when the political "brains" were being passed out in the Romney family.As father, as son applies to Romneys tax returns
July 16, 2012
Over 40 years ago, George Romney, then governor of Michigan, began a political tradition by releasing his tax returns for the 12 previous years during his bid for the presidency in 1968. His motive was simple, according to Vice-President Joe Biden: When [Mitt Romney's] father, George Romney, was a presidential candidate, he released 12 years of tax returns because, as he said, One year could be a fluke, perhaps done for show.
In a bit of sweet irony, Mitt Romney is undoing the old adage of like father, like son by refusing to release his tax reports dating before 2010 .....
If George Romney set a precedent in 1968 by releasing 12 years worth of tax returns, it was to force candidates like his son to lay out all their cards for all to see.

And George admitted to being brainwashed.
