Mitt Romney on Thursday said he never paid less than 13% of his income in taxes over the past decade, rebutting critics who charge that he has paid nothing.
I did go back and look at my taxes, and, over the past 10 years, I never paid less than 13%, Romney said, according to NBC News. He later added: Every year, I paid at least 13%, and if you add in, in addition, the amount that goes to charity, the number gets well above 20%.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has accused Romney, a wealthy businessman, of paying no taxes in certain years, a charge Romney calls totally false.

Mitt, never argue with a fool.
If this gets going further somebody had better bring up and portray what John Kerry paid and the tax shelters that we know about as the numbers and percentages are ugly in comparison and NOT well publicized.
Exactly, now they’ll demand proof. He needs to say that he heard an anonymous source say that Obama got a 2.3 GPA at Columbia. Let’s see those transcripts!
Reagan released 6 years. Bush I and II released 8. McCain released 12 and liberal Romney released 1 year and a draft of 2011....Get rid of Romney and put Ryan as our Presidental nomination before we get stuck with this jerk.
I am getting on in years (77), but if I remember correctly, the issue SHOULD be...did Romney pay his taxes according to the IRS codes and laws in effect each year.
If the answer is “NO”, then we really have an issue.
If the answer is “YES”, then will the idiots on the left please STFU, this is now gone beyond idiocy.
It is disgusting that politics in the USA has degenerated to the point that OBEYING the law has become a “wrongful act.”
Good. Time for Harry “the Dirtball” Reid to pony up. And DWS. What? They don’t have to...?
Of course, Alinsky’s rules.
2.3 GPA at Columbia? I don’t think it was that high. I’d guess 1.9.
I think a little reciprocity is in order. Let's see his first!
BTW, over the last 10 years I have never paid as little as 13% ~ and I've been retired for 8 years.
He's pulling our leg isn't he.
Really, it’s time for you to quit being so stupid, and devote yourself to getting rid of Obama.
Yeah, that’s the ticket ... yeah yeah, that will work really well ... yeah see with a couple of months until the election we ditch the candidate and start all over ... yeah that is just freaking brilliant
Wow, he fell for their trap. The more he talks about the content of the returns, the more ammo he gives the democrats. He should just ignore it and let them complain until the issue goes away.
Liberals, always so concerned with other peoples money.
Bingo. Romney campaign should get on the offense and quit falling into these defensive traps. Obama campaign strategy is to attack and divert. It is quite obvious what is going on. Romney’s team is not very smart.
Obama flunked lunch at Columbia and graduated "Magma Choom Fraud" at Harvard!
I'd heard that his GPA, IQ, and age were the same numerically.

PS That might have also included sperm count, not sure on that, check with Tony...
“He needs to say that he heard an anonymous source say that Obama got a 2.3 GPA at Columbia.”
You are way too generous.
