I can. At least 13%, closer to 38% (56% if you count them all)but at least 13% for sure.
Safe to assume his 13% paid for one year is greater than my decade of earned.

my total taxes paid equals 25% of my pay. i need to send money to the caymans...oh, wait-that's only for rich people.

If his 13% is legal - good for Mitt.

Just get tremendously undervalued stock, put it in your IRA (you won't max out), then let that stock magically bloom over a few years to a value of over $100 million.

Everybody has the same "opportunity", here in "Amercia". Um ... no. They don't.

Edit: I just realized something: Romney and Ms. Romney never say "income taxes", when they talk about taxes. People have noticed that over the past week - they've been specifically coached to always say "taxes", never "income taxes". And he did it again, here.

"Paid taxes" ... just talking about state, local, mortgage, sales ...

Tonight Ann Romney is on NBC Rock Center with Brian Willams, and in her interview, she's asked about taxes, and she gets visibly mad and insulted. Watch it. She didn't help the campaign here, by looking approachable and friendly. She looks uppity. Yeah, I used that word with a white woman.

Well he wouldn't have paid any income taxes on his governor's salary in Massachusetts because he turned down the salary.

Ann Romney has always been the epitome of class.

Nobody cares about his state taxes. They care about his federal income taxes.

Ann Romney is not classy in the least when she disparages the American public as, "You people". Watch NBC now - she's on TV.

Yeah. I've paid "at least" 13%, indeed, business and personal
