This is how the left operates, the take a bunch of horse manurer and sling it against the wall and figure some of it will stick. They know there are some people out there that will blindly listen to their crap.
Call Harry Reid and see what other false information you can gather.
That's the reason that he published THAT year's returns. After all, 14% is almost equal to the capital gains rate for which ANYBODY can qualify (unless he is spending his money on food and shelter.)
On the other hand, if his other years' returns are in the single digit range, Romney can't claim to be everyman. Only those wealthy enough to hire the best talent and to have the luxury of spreading their dollars (US or Cayman Islands) around can squeeze out those extra millions.
Of course, I could be wrong. Romney could point out my error simply by releasing his income tax returns.
Everyman??? When did he say was an "everyman"?
Please don't take offense, but are you old enough to vote?

Just wondering.
You may misunderstand the meaning of the term, "everyman". Wikipedia explains it thusly, "In literature and drama, the term everyman has come to mean an ordinary individual, with whom the audience or reader is supposed to be able to identify easily ..."
Restating the sentence in which I used it would be, "Romney can't claim [that everyone has the same opportunity as he.]"
Obviously, were Romney indeed everyman, everyone would have the ability to take advantage of capital gains. However since the large majority of American tax payers don't have the disposable income that Romney and his stupendously wealthy colleagues do, they must pay a higher tax than the rich on a tiny fraction of the income.
By way of apology for those who take advantage of capital gains, allowing citizens to pay but 15% tax WAS the intent of this law. On the other hand, no part of the tax code was written with the intent of allowing centimillionaires to pay income taxes of SINGLE DIGITS.

OK,,, So your not old enough to vote
Couldn't you just respond and not give answer like a 16 year old?
Please don't take offense, but are you old enough to vote?

You write something meant to provoke a response. The person writes a response back addressing the original subject of tax rates on the rich and avoids your offhand remark.
Then you respond with poor grammar going back to your original inflammatory post. Who is being immature?

I agree, the comment was totally unwarranted.
Why don't liberal folks let people stand up for themselves, you don't have to help everyone. some people can defend themselves. I guess it is a mindset.

What single digits are you referring to? I don't have a problem with rich people and do not understand why other folks do. I was never offered a job by a poor man.
You can bet the IRS has audited his returns and if there were a problem he would have corrected it. For you to go around and slander him because he is rich or something Harry Reid is trying to provoke without evidence is immature.
Maybe you should attack some of the liberals in congress that haven't paid their taxes.

I have not libeled Romney. I have voiced my suspicion that he is withholding tax returns that show him to have reduced his tax liability to single digits by manipulation of the tax code.
I further suspect that the strategies that he employed to do so would expose him to obloquy.
He can refute my suspicions by simply releasing his tax returns as did his father and as has President Obama. To date, he has failed to produce any argument for his continued obduracy beyond, "I don't wanna'."
It's good to be rich; it's bad not to pay condign taxes. Romney should show us that he's all good.
I saw Romney should tell Harry Reid, I'll show my tax returns if Obama will unseal his college transcripts, criminal records and everything else he has sealed.
