His tax rates don't bother me as long as it is legal.
I'm going to go take a shower after typing this but Avenger/Dakota is 100% correct on that point.
The American public is highly hypocritical. They fault candidates for doing exactly what nearly everyone of them would do. to wit - avoid taxes wherever possible and legal.
Interesting conundrum... He seems to be in a position where he has committed federal crimes nomatter which way he jumps.
If, in fact, he was in charge at Bain Capital thru 2002 (or later) then he committed financial reporting fraud punishable by fines and imprisonment.
If, in fact, he was NOT in charge at Bain Capital thru 2002 (or later) then Bain & Company committed financial reporting fraud punishable by fines and imprisonment. And as he was still employed by Bain & Company as a consultant at that time and his signature is on the SEC filings he'd be implicated as a co-conspirator.

So who's responsibility is it to pursue legal action against him?
The SEC is responsible for asking the DOJ to pursue it.
