Unfotunately, there are too many loopholes in the tax code and Bush lowered the taxes for the rich. He is only taking advabtage of all thats available to him. Everybody does it. I am more upset about GE. making 5 billion dollars and not paying one cent in taxes. HL. we need someone to beat Obama. Ron Paul is the most trustworthy, but not a strong fighter with words. I heard Newts speech after his SC. win and I believe he could beat Obama.

Mitt may not survive the tax thing. ( I won't be sad about it either. Just another Bush and Obama).
Romney's Tax Returns May 'Kill' Him
Rupert Murdoch, the conservative media mogul who owns Fox News, tweeted Wednesday that the release of Mitt Romney’s tax returns could “kill” his candidacy.
“Romney's tax returns might kill his chances. See Republican establishment panic now!” Murdoch tweeted.
The former Massachusetts governor remains in a thorny political situation. He made more than $20 million income last year and paid only about 14 percent in income taxes.
But Romney’s own tax plan has called for all Americans to pay a minimum 25 percent tax.
Newt Gingrich’s plan, however, calls for a flat 15 percent income tax for all Americans. Gingrich has mocked Romney’s plan, saying that Romney wants Americans to pay more in tax than he himself does.
Romney’s campaign is reeling.
Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal reported this week that Romney’s posture suggests that his wealth embarrasses him.
The Journal reported that Romney is thinking of scrapping the so-called “carried interest” provision that has allowed Romney and other venture capitalists to invest and reap profits at the low capital gains tax rate of 15 percent.
If “carried interest” were scrapped, rates on venture investments could be taxed at normal income rates.
Gingrich, for his part, says Romney’s plan is folly. Gingrich has argued he would cut capital gains taxes across the board to zero to stimulate investment and create new jobs.
Romney appears in a box. Shamed by his low tax rates, he is calling for higher taxes for everyone else. As Politico put it, “Mr. Romney remains in a defensive crouch, as if he's embarrassed by his wealth.”

We do not need to be over there. Ron would defend the USA if needed. He would not be out attacking the world like the Bush's and Obama.
Sometimes you have to act first.
No I don't like wars, but don't like seeing innocent people die either.......
