Whats the big deal with Mitt Romney paying 15% in taxes? He didn't write the tax code. After all he's not the President... yet. Romney had nothing to do with the Bush tax cuts that kept the capital gains rate so low. He also had nothing to do with President Obama extending the Bush tax cuts in 2010.
If I were Romney I would say thank you very much President Obama for keeping my taxes so low and allowing me to remain in the 1% even though your election year populist message acknowledges the growing disparity between rich and poor. I'm glad the middle class is carrying the burden for the country as our deficit grows due to an unfair tax code that allows millionaires like me to get away with not paying his fair share. If I (Mitt Romney) were President I would have a flatter tax code and get rid of the loopholes but thats just me (Mitt Romney.)
Was Mitt supposed to offer to overpay this past year because the 99% occupiers on the left FEELS his taxes are too low and he might be accused of greed in a general election? Neither you nor I would pay any more in taxes than we had to. We would put the profits from our investments in a Super PAC and run for President too.
