Interesting take. What could he have possible done that would have impressed you.

from the perspective of most Americans

My own feelings about Romney's tax return is that what he paid, what he did was done exactly as he should have, exactly the I way would and exactly the way I would hope he would run the country.

I knew my comments would be misinterpreted, get some snarky remark from some political unsophisticate in knee-jerk, pavlovian reaction, ready to pounce without thinking, putting any thought into it, only reacting. I said from the perspective of most Americans the amount Romney paid, being a billionaire and all, being envious of him, most Americans want billionaires to pay up to 30% while he paid only 14%. So when compared to the populist attitude that resonates with most Americans who want to see billionaires paying a higher rate, the 30% paid by Buffet and Obama , the 14% paid by Romney would not resonate very positively, as a candidate paying only 14%, it would register among most Americans in a manner that would be considered in a negative light.
