Former Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum is satisfied with Mitt Romney’s public tax return disclosure because, as he says, one year of tax returns that Romney has already released is “probably” equal to ten years worth for Santorum.
“I think probably his one-year tax return is bigger than my ten years,” said Santorum on CNN’s ‘The Situation Room’ today.
“I think to me it’s a distraction,” added Santorum of the tax return issue. “Governor Romney can make that case from the standpoint of the politics of it. I’m not going to weigh-in on that. I think if you look at the pressure that Governor Romney is getting on his tax returns and you look at the lack of pressure President Obama’s had on a whole series of things personal to him that he’s still refused to include his transcripts and a whole list of other things, it’s again a double standard.”
