Ed. Note: Some questions have arisen as to whether Ann Romney actually said the word “you” in “we’ve given all you people need” when referring to additional tax returns. We strongly recommend giving it a listen for yourself.
Ann Romney reaffirmed her husband’s insistence that no additional years of tax returns would be released to the public on Thursday morning, arguing that they have already “given all you people need to know.”
“He’s a very generous person,” she told ABC’s Robin Roberts of Mitt Romney. “We give 10 percent of our income to our church every year. Do you think that is the kind of person who is trying to hide things, or do things? No. He is so good about it. Then, when he was governor of Massachusetts, didn’t take a salary in the four years.”
“We’ve given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and how we live our life,” she said.
Romney also repeated her husband’s justification for not releasing more information. Doing so would only give opponents “more material for attack,” she said.
