Calling it illegal is stupid.
Saying he was slippery with his numbers is accurate however.
Explain CAREFULLY how paying more then you have to is a bad thing? You are aware that citizens can give money to the Government through several means. I believe you can even ear mark donations for specific programs or general fund.
I am not quit grasping how allowing yourself to pay more then absolutely required is " Slippery".
It's not bad, however for Mitt it is disingenuous. IF he had released, say 5 years of returns, and they showed he consistently paid more, well most people( obviously not partisan hacks) would be commenting how generous he is.
However what he did was swear he never pays less than 13%, then when people started demanding to see more returns, he releases one where he has purposefully not claimed an obvious deduction so that his tax rate wouldn't fall below the magic number.
That was an interesting rationale......and also total pond-scum.
Fact is they don't care what he does because the point is to destroy him, not be honest.
I think it's pretty clear that if he had released 20 returns they would have found something wrong with that too.
