>>I 'm not sure I agree that any of us would skirt tax laws and ethics the way that Mitt Romney has<<
Now this is new. When did he "skirt" tax laws? You say ordinary people will be outraged to see him pay less than 15% or so. Do you know what is the average effective individual income tax rate in America in 2007?
3.3% for the middle quantile. 3.3%

The much maligned top 1% pays 19%. The indignation should go the other way.
