Harry Reid: 'Romney basically paid no taxes for 12 years'

Harry Reid Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid yesterday asserted on the Senate floor that Mitt Romney paid no taxes at all for years:
His father, George Romney, set the precedent that people running for president would file their tax returns, let everybody look at them. But Mitt Romney can't do that because he's basically paid no taxes in the prior 12 years.
Maybe Harry Reid knows something we don't. Maybe he's shooting from the hip without knowing all the facts.

With questions swirling around Romney's overseas investments in tax havens, secretive foriegn corporations and Swiss bank accounts, we don't know what's going on. Republican Joe Scarborough and Democrat Howard Dean speculated on Morning Joe this morning that there may be years where Romney paid no taxes at all.

I do know what will clear the matter up:

Full disclosure of Mitt Romney's tax returns and business documents.
