Tax dodger wants in the whitehouse

You have zero facts about my town and couldnt even get it right reading it off of google. I do not disrespect you by pretending to "know facts" about where you are. I expect the same in return.

Ray, your town sounds very typical of rural MN, perhaps rural America. However their is no use arguing with someone getting his facts out of a 25 years old map or a 40 year old book and believes that you are living in the past.

Nothing I have seen, heard or read suggests to me that Romney is a tax cheat. What he is though is someone who uses The tax law available to him in the best way possible. With all his money I would hedge that in some way he has helped formulate the current tax laws in place and even if this is not true I know he didn't protest when the Capital gains tax was lowered. He is only acting in own best interest which we all do anyway. The system is what needs change

Romney just released his 2011 taxes guess what he paid 1.9 million in taxes, he made 13.7 million mostly from investments. Over the last 20 years he has owed and paid State and federal taxes.

Harry reid is the liar and so is Obama he has yet to come clean about the terror attack that just took place under his watch. Romney said he paid taxes and he did if you dont like the tax laws work on getting them changed.

You better go back and do your math again 14.1% of 13.7 million is 1.92 million But we know you are so much smarter than everyone else that we should just believe anything you say.

you better read the article...he padded it $4MM so he wouldn't be caught in a lie

The most unusual aspect of Romney's tax filing for 2011, based on the summary provided by his trustee, is that he and his wife chose not to deduct all of their charitable contributions -- a decision that led to them paying a higher effective tax rate.
Romney in August declared that he had paid at least 13 percent in taxes over the past decade. Had he deducted all of his $4 million in charitable donations, his tax rate would have fallen below that figure.
