Newt Gingrich has been criticizing Romney about not turning in his tax returns. In a recent debate in South Carolina, Romney claimed that he was unsure about if he will release his taxes and said "maybe" to his final decision about the issue. This was surprising, and the audience booed when this was spoken aloud. Romney will not even follow in his fathers footsteps of releasing his tax returns for twelve years straight, as his father did when he was the Governor of Michigan. This seems discouraging to voters that Mitt Romney does not look up to his father George as a model to follow, and Americans look for a candidate to be a family man. Someone who can relate to a regular American and drink a beer is what, instead of politician who is rich and removed from the middle class and does not respect what his father did. This was the wrong answer, because it portrays Romney in a light that is dim. Romney has a big family and a loving wife, so not looking up to his father when the question was asked was a bad decision. Newt Gingrich has been especially demanding that he consider republican voters and release his tax returns. Gingrich has released his information to the public and has claimed that the Americans have a right to see what we earn and how much they pay. He is obviously wealthy and pays a tax of around 30 percent which is on the high end of taxes. Romney made sure that he should not be frowned upon for being rich, since he worked hard to have a high income. Romney, in fact, even though he is rich, has made considerable donations to charitable causes. Gingrich is trying to put Romney in a tight position which will eventually lose some support of Romney voters in the end.
