I had suspected that Mitt Romney...

...wouldn't release his tax returns out of concern that evangelicals would see how much he was giving to the LDS Church. When I mentioned this to someone recently, he said that maybe the real reason was that Romney didn't want Mormons to see how little he was giving to the LDS Church. (I hadn't thought of that.)

According to an article in the Times today, Romney earned $21.6 million in 2010 of which he contributed about $1.6 million to the LDS Church. That's about seven and a half percent, less than the 10 percent Mormons are expected to tithe.
