Would YOU like to save more on taxes? Mitt - show us how!

Dear Mr. Romney:

I am an American taxpayer.  Like you, I feel that while taxes are a necessary obligation, it only makes sense for one to minimize their personal tax burden.   You have implied that over the years you have done nothing inappropriate in organizing your tax returns.   Clearly, you have been successful in mitigating the highly-complicated tax code to do so, and I would list this as one of your talents in moneymaking, given that you are obviously an American success story in finance.

It pains me though, that you seem to be extremely reluctant to share your wisdom with the American people - the people you wish to lead as President of the United States.   As a leader is it not an obligation to lead through example?   Wouldn't we ALL benefit from learning from your expertise and experience on the matter of tax preparation?   I realize that my financial issues and concerns do not come close to the complexity that you suffer in preparing your taxes, but given that it is the dream of every American to prosper as you have, I'm certain that I would benefit from a greater understanding of how one should manage what money that have, and how to best use the existing tax code to retain as much of it as possible.

Would you please explain to me (and to all of us) why it is so important for you to not share what you know when doing so would influence us to support you more?   I would like to learn more so as to be a better American; who better to learn it from than a person who wants to be my leader?
