Robert --

It's a long-held political tradition for presidential candidates
to release their tax returns.

This week, the drumbeat for Mitt Romney to release his returns 
has steadily grown louder. First, he said he wouldn't release them. 
Then he said he would -- after this year's tax season. And when 
asked at Thursday's debate if he'd follow precedent and release 
more than one year's worth, the best answer he could muster 
was an awkward "maybe."

Maybe?

He hasn't released his tax returns yet, but we do know some 
things already -- and they're pretty outrageous.

Check out the five things everyone should know about Mitt's 
taxes, then add your name to call on him to actually release 
them:

Every GOP presidential nominee for the past 40 years has 
released their tax returns. Even some of Mitt's biggest 
supporters, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and 
Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, have called on him to 
level with voters on this issue.

Why so shy, Mitt?

Perhaps it's because he stores part of his money in the Cayman 
Islands, a "notorious Caribbean tax haven." Or because even 
with a net worth of as much as $250 million, he manages to pay 
a lower tax rate than most middle-class Americans. Maybe it's 
that when he says he's "unemployed, too," he forgets to tell you 
he's been making millions off his Bain investments at the same 
time.

We think voters should know the whole story.

So take a look at the top five things we know already, then 
sign on to make sure we find out the rest:
