If Mitt
Romney does lift the veil on his tax returns, one thing that voters will
get a look at is how much he gives to the Mormon church, and the answer
might be a lot more than anyone thought. ABC News
finds that Bain Capital routinely cuts the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints in on its deals, handing the church millions in
stock—including, notably, 65,326 shares of Burger King in 2008, worth
some $1.9 million. Romney's campaign acknowledges that such transactions
were made at Romney's behest, but says that some of the shares may have
been donated by other Mormons at Bain.
"Mitt
Romney has publicly stated that he regularly tithes to his church," a
spokesman said. "Any shares donated by Mitt Romney are personal shares
owned by him." Romney has always been known as a major church
benefactor; his family charity, the Tyler Foundation, has given more
than $4 million to the church in the past 10 years. But that pales
before the Bain windfalls, which have included DDi, Domino's, Innophos
Holdings, and Marquee Holdings, parent of AMC Theaters.
