The Obamugabe butt-kisser Tom Raum, who wrote this piece, BURIED THE LEAD...no doubt because he didn't want to bring the truth out too clearly about Obamugabe's lies.

Obamugabe has been running ads ALL WEEK LONG in Florida playing the class warfare card--TRUMPETING how Mitt's 14% tax rate is HIGHER than that of the middle class.

Now, we see that Mitt has never paid LOWER than 13.66%...indeed, Obamugabe is a liar.

Hey, do you think if a Republican had lied about Obamugabe, that the "journalist" Tom Raum would put that fact a wee bit HIGHER in his story?

In fact, I don't even see any reference to BO's claim that Romney pays more than the middle class....so maybe Tom the journalist just wants to avoid the truth.....

Hugh and series.

Anybody know how this “effective rate” is calculated? Is that based on adjusted gross income, or on the gross income subtotal before adjustments? The difference could be huge.

The issue should be why the Democrats are lying their butts off every day, and why the voters shouldn’t believe anything they say.

[popdonnelly]

They’re complaining because Romney paid MORE in taxes than he could have? This only makes sense to a Democrat.

Rats certainly NEVER concerned themselves about the wealth of THEIR candidates for ANY office. They never concern themselves with the fact that most of them get very rich while serving as elected representatives. Rats never concerned themselves about their own not paying taxes! In a sane world, people would notice things like that.

This seems to be the current talking point.

The New York Times article completely left out the fact that the Romneys paid over $4mil to charity. As a matter of fact, they phrased it in such a way that made it seem like the Romneys weren’t as charitable as in previous years!

Remember when Al Gore had $300 in charitable contributions on his tax return?

And what 'political' reason would he have for keeping his tax rate below a certain level

Wouldn't he want to keep it higher?

I heard this on the radio last night. I thought I heard right but thought they can’t be using this spin can they?

I guess I heard right. Attacking Romney because he paid too little tax? The spin I heard was during the Repub debates he said he wouldn’t pay more tax that legally required. So, since he paid a little more, now they’re trying to say he lied.

Just wow.

Apparently I’m supposed to be more angry about what Romney does with his money than what Obama does with mine.

[broadcastdude]

At first the Democrats said Romney did not pay enough tax, possibly none at all. Now they say he paid too much tax. There is no pleasing that bunch.

We need to hit back with something like this:
