Paul Ryan and his wife, Janna, paid an effective tax rate of 15.9% in 2010 and 20% in 2011, according to tax returns provided by the Romney-Ryan campaign to the Journal Sentinel on Friday.

In 2010, Ryan and his wife paid $34,233 in federal taxes on $215,417 of adjusted gross income.

In 2011, they paid $64,764 in federal taxes on $323,416 of adjusted gross income.

A little more than half of the Ryans' total income in that two-year period came from the congressman's congressional salary.

But the couple also earned significant outside income from dividends, capital gains, real estate and other sources.

For example, in 2010, the couple reported $39,013 in income from "rental real estate, royalties, partnerships, S corporations, trust, etc."

2. IIRC, they also had to suddenly

include a 1 - 5 million dollar inheritance from the wife's mother that they completely forgot about - until Ryan was chosen by mittshits to be his VP running mate.

3. Will delete my post of the story, which was almost the same time as yours.

Here's the WA Post link, in case anybody wants to look at the returns.

They are now on the campaign website. GOP VP nominee Rep. Paul Ryan paid an effective tax rate of 15.9 percent in 2010 and 20 percent in 2011. And

edited to add: Another Friday p.m. "dump." Only difference from last week's was that Romney's VP pick announcement came closer to midnight.

9. I was going to say he needs to ask Mitt's account to ammend those years and

get him a lower rate.

10. He needs a new tax accountant

and some new deductions, buy a house or a horse maybe. Or donate more to a worthy secular charity.

11. Progressive Tax Structure? His Taxes Are Higher Than Romney's!

Is it become Romney was that much more effective than Ryan in creating jobs?

13. I would have expected a united front on the tax return reveal.

To me, the questions about the absence of Romney's returns are amplified by the release of Ryan's returns. Am I alone in thinking this?
