Obama team slams Romney for not paying "fair share" of taxes

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's campaign team attacked his likely Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, on Tuesday for not paying his "fair share" of taxes ahead of a speech by the president on why millionaires should bear a larger tax burden.

Obama's populist message is a clear swipe at Romney, the wealthy Republican front-runner likely to face him in the November 6 election, as the Democratic president seeks to appeal to blue-collar voters he will need to win a second term.

One of the richest men ever to seek the White House, Romney paid an effective tax rate of 13.9 percent in 2010 on more than $21 million in income. Obama's campaign is anxious to paint him as elitist and out of touch with ordinary Americans.

Well, you seem very concerned that dear leader not be disrespected.

[IWONDR]

take a look at BO’s 2010 1040 tax schedules D and E [for instance] and see if you notice that there appear to be the uneven darkening and lightening of some lines for certain “line” items on these forms and elsewhere. wondering if this document has been selectively edited from its original, besides the obvious deletion of the social security numbers?

Also, what about their form 1116: “Foreign Tax Credit”? where did that bit of change [$1571 dollars] come from? could that be from any foreign bank accounts; tho, they [or their surrogates] are attacking Romney for having a Swiss bank account? note on line g of the same Form 1116 that their CPA has put “various” for the names of the foreign countries or U.S. possessions where they have had “taxable income or loss from sources outside of the U.S.”
