He is still only paying 14% of his income, which is less than many of the 53% that pay taxes in this country.
He's paying his fair share and he's paying far more in actual dollars than most Americans. Why do liberals think the government deserves his money more than his church? Oh that's right the Left booed God, nevermind.

Romney/Ryan are pushing for tax reform so that the rich won't be able to legally write off so much.

Default Mitt Rigs his deductions to make his return look better.

As it turns out, Mitt "voluntarily" overpaid his taxes to make it look like he owed more than he actually did. Had he taken all his legal deductions, he would have paid only 9%. 9%! Romney himself said he would be disqualified from the race if he paid more than he was required to by law. But he did to make himself look "better". Quit, Mitt! Smoke and mirrors from the master once again.

Whatever he does from this point forward is just chatter.

He's done. A blip in the history books.
It's about the economy stupid. 23 million un and under employed don't care what some doctored audio picked up. He has since filled in the part of the tape that was cut out anyway.

The Romneys’ generous charitable donations in 2011 would have significantly reduced their tax obligation for the year. The Romneys thus limited their deduction of charitable contributions to conform to the Governor’s statement in August, based upon the January estimate of income, that he paid at least 13% in income taxes in each of the last 10 years.

He is much more presidential than Obama. he is a far greater leader, more experienced and successful. All Obama has done for the last 4 years is campaign.

If you believe that, I've got some ocean front property in Ariz for you. Just follow the trail of who is donating to Romeny/Ryan- Koch Bros, Adelson, millionaire hedge fund managers, etc. Why would a sensible voter think that these men are donating without some strings attached?

You just confirmed, without a shadow of a doubt, that you don't have the vaguest clue how to read a tax return or what any of it means.
