The key word is legally.
If you do your taxes and calculate that by law you owe $10,000, that is the amount that is LEGALLY DUE.
If you choose to eliminate a deduction, or part of a deduction, so that your tax bill is increased to, say, $15,000,
you have chosen to pay more than was LEGALLY DUE. That's what Romney did, and that's what Romney originally said would disqualify him from being president.
So you're claim is that everyone must claim every deduction that they are allowed to claim? You really want to run with that?
OK.
*Snickers....*
That really is some fucking dumb shit.
That is exactly what Romney claimed when he said paying more taxes than he owed was stupid.
Actually stupid isn't a word he used. 'Legal' was.
