Who cares about his college records. People want to see Mittens tax returns.
Like everyone else, members of Congress are subject to current insider trading laws. However, current insider trading laws do not apply to nonpublic information about current or upcoming congressional activity -- that's because members of Congress aren't technically obligated to keep that information confidential.
So, for instance, if a lawmaker learns an upcoming bill will grant a company a large government contract, which could boost that company's stock, he or she is free to buy that stock ahead of the bill's public introduction. This form of "insider trading" is one of the reasons why there are so many wealthy members of Congress, CBSNews.com reported earlier this year.

People are NOT trying to expose Romney by having him release his tax records, they're just trying to hold him accountable.
My pet theory about this at the moment is that Romney hasn't paid his full 10% tithe to his Church, and the release of his records will get the church mad at him right when he least needs this.
It's likely not the power of the people that scares him, it's the full power of the Mormon church that he's afraid of.

Remember the Buffet rule? Named after the guy who owes 1 billion in back taxes really can't believe they are making the issue of Mittens tax returns.

The verdict? Turns out Republicans have the bigger names—Jack Abramoff, Randy “Duke” Cunningham—but Democrats have the most tax scandals by a margin of 18 to 7.

I just feel bad for people who think just because Romney is a wealthy CEO, that he is a capitalist and is going to save the economy.
