Romney has spent years railing against "high taxes" yet has no idea what his tax rate is?

So he had to "go back and look." WTF? To be so pout-raged against "high taxes" plus being such a financial genius I just figured he would know that info without having to look it up.

Hey Lib-Rul Media, could somebody ask him if he thinks 13% is too high what exactly does he consider a fair tax rate? Zero? Maybe like he's been paying for 10 years?

Anybody else think he maybe "paid" 13% - and then got a refund for it all due to billionaire tax code deductions?




oops edit for typo

1. Worse yet, he thinks not paying more than 13% is good thing. He's sooooo patriotic.

2. It is not what he paid or wwhat he made but HOW and from WHOM

that we are interested in. The man would be POTUS so we need to make sure he hasn't already sold us all out.

Here is one thing he isn't fond of talking about:

6. How do the fundies justify Mittwitt's Iranian investments?

They push for stronger support of Israel and don't have a problem supporting a candidate that sells out Israel for profit. The Israeli's should be asking the hardliners in their government why they would support anyone that helps their enemy.

3. How much of his income is even taxed at the top rate?

4. mitt's blind trust invested in tagg's company,

that tells me mitt's running his blind trust!

5. Why isn't anyone asking him about FEDERAL INCOME TAX?

I don't recall seeing anything but the general word "taxes" being used by Romney or his wife. Big different in sales tax, property tax, state tax or whatever. In addition, although it was years ago, he gave the very same arguments to the people of Mass when he was running for governor; I haven't heard much about the fact that he used the exact same arguments then as now. Isn't that a tad outrageous?
