Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has doubled (actually tripled) down on his claim that Mitt Romney did not pay taxes for 10 years.

Reid claims Romney hasnt paid taxes (again). (Kevin Lamarque - Reuters) In both a Senate floor speech and in conversation with Nevada reporters, Reid said he had it on good authority that the former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate had paid no taxes, a claim he attributed in a Huffington Post interview to a Bain investor.
โ€œI am not basing this on some figment of my imagination,ย Reid told Nevada reporters Wednesday. โ€œI have had a number of people tell me that.ย But he would not expand on his sources. โ€œI dont think the burden should be on me,ย he said. โ€œThe burden should be on him. Hes the one Ive alleged has not paid any taxes.ย
