Ignorance.
Apples and oranges. Greece has no cash flow.

I'm still worried about Romney by the way.

So after pledging he'd never pay less than 13% in taxes over the past decade and that he'd be unfit for office if he ever paid more than was required.......................................... ....................Romney actually overpays his taxes to keep his average above 13%.

Worse, it looks like the campaign issues this bad news primarily to distract from all the fall out over his 47% remarks.

Jim should be all over this as he loves honesty and facts.

Soon you're going to see his campaign chief resign...just wait.

b/c if he took all his deductions he would have paid 9%... my guess is this is why the other years haven't been released. nothing illegal, fyi... I'm not implying he is a tax cheat....

It's a nice move...manipulate your taxes so they align with your talking points.

And President Obama had the gall to claim the elite played by a different set of rules

Politics boys, Politics.
Maybe the same reason why Joe only took $300 in charitable deductions.

Spence, do you expect Romney to pay more than what he owes? we are all supposed to pay what we owe.

Unless you are Tim Geithner. Spence, if you are OK with Tim Geithner's approach to taxes, by what logic can you quarrel with Mitt Romney?

Romney said if he paid more than he owed he'd be unfit to be president...then promptly over paid to get his average above 13% so he wouldn't flip flop on another promise.

This is exactly the stuff you live for, I'm astounded you're not all over it
