Of course, he's doing this so as not to embarass his boss. He doesn't pay much in taxes either though more than Romney did in 2010:
" Mitt Romney's campaign released two years of vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's tax returns Friday, which show that he and his wife paid a 15.9 percent effective tax rate on an adjusted gross income of $215,417 in 2010 and a 20 percent rate on $323,416 in 2011--a weighted average of just over 18 percent for both years."

Even that's quite low but higher than Mitt. No doubt, Ryan should release more as well. The question that begs is how many years he showed to Romney. The answer they've given is "several" though it's not clear if this means literally 3.
However, until Romney releases his tax returns the issues not going to go away as we saw it bubble up to the surface on Thursday. Ryan' copying him is not going to change the reality is that Romney is the first candidate since the 60s not to release his tax returns.
What is he hiding?
