Vice President Biden at La Raza: Romney "Wants You To Show Your Papers, But He Won't Show Us His"

In his remarks to The National Council of La Raza today, Vice President Joe Biden addressed Mitt Romney's refusal to release additional tax returns that could shed light on his offshore accounts and investments in foreign tax havens.

"And this is a man who says President Barack Obama is out of touch. Out of touch with the needs of the American people. This coming from a man who until recently had a Swiss bank account and millions of dollars invested in the Grand Cayman Islands beyond security -- beyond scrutiny. And President Obama is out of touch?

When his father was a candidate for president in 1968, his father released 12 years of tax returns because he said, and I quote, "One year could be a fluke, perhaps done for show," end of quote. That was his father. His son has released only one year of his tax returns, making a lie of the old adage, "like father, like son." He wants you to show your papers, but he won't show us his. It's kind of fascinating. So many questions."
