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. I do it to save a few hundred dollars in taxes; Romney has much greater wealth so his savings are going to be exponentially higher.
Now I do have an issue with him not being secure enough to stand up and say that is what he did and that it is legal (backed by accountants and tax attorneys). Instead all his dodging and avoidance says there is something else that is in those records.
I'm as liberal as A/D is conservative - we have virtually nothing in common politically. There is not a chance I'll vote for Romney, but I also have no issue with his tax rates (just about everything else - yes, but not tax rates).
