She *may* have been intending the grammar of her sentence to refer to the reporter
she was having a conversation with.
It is very clear to me that is exactly the case. In fact, just before that:

Mrs. Romney: "When he was Governor of Massachusetts - didn't take a salary for four years."

Reporter: "Why not show that then?"

Mrs. Romney: “And you just want to give more material for more attack. And that’s really -
that’s just the answer.”

Who was the word "you referring to in this instance? To the interviewer(representing the media.)
Same as a few seconds later when the "you people" comment was made.

I stand by my impression. Would I prefer he made his tax returns public? Meh, why not.
I cannot say that has ever been an issue with which candidate I voted for though.
I think they will show he is a Billionaire at worst. They will however offer more fuel to the fire of the
"Out of touch rich guy mantra" which is a cornerstone of the Obama campaign.
The election should be about jobs & the economy, not how wealthy a candidate is or isn't and
certainly NOT about their tax returns. YMMV.
