I Can’t Recall

Romney can’t recall whether or not he has paid a tax rate lower than 13 percent in the past. He’ll have to go back and check.

JERUSALEM – Mitt Romney could not say today whether he had ever paid a tax rate lower than 13.9 percent, saying he would have to “go back and check.” [...]

“I haven’t calculated that,” said Romney. “I’m happy to go back and look, but my view is I’ve paid all the taxes required by law.”

“From time to time I’ve been audited as it happens, I think, to other citizens as well, and the accounting firm which prepares my taxes has done a very thorough and complete job pay taxes as legally due,” said Romney. “I don’t pay more than are legally due.”

If you believe him, I have some doomsday insurance to sell you.

And “it was legal.” Expect to hear that a lot between now and November.

    Mr. Ashby – can you bypass the retina scanner and the sharks with fricken laser beams to fix the download link for last week’s after-party?
    It just routes you back to the home page when clicked.

    Does “go back and check” mean there will be tax returns forth coming?

    Who wants to bet Rmoney paid all taxes under the law just Like GE did last year?
    It’s become pretty obvious that he can’t afford to let the public know just how bad he has been leaching off middle class taxpayers for years.

    I used to work for Price Waterhouse. You always in form the individual tax client of their effective tax rate when you deliver the tax return copies to them.

    Always. No exceptions.

    Rmoney: Go back and check for your balls while you’re at it, you effing cowardly hack. At least your pals on Wall Street are Gordon Gekko-esque unapologetic about their pillage and plundering. Oh, I forgot, you’re running for President for Pete’s sake. What a douchebot.
