Mitt Romney is rejecting accusations he didn’t pay tax for ten years.

The claim has been made by US senate majority leader Harry Reid.

But the Republican presidential candidate is coming out fighting:

“I have paid taxes every year – and a lot of taxes. Give us the names of the people who have put this forward. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the people from the White House or the Obama campaign.  Harry Reid really has to put up – or shut up.”
