Harry Reid said Romney didn’t pay taxes for 10 years.
Today Mitt Romney released his 2011 tax returns.
He paid $1.9 million in taxes — an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent, the same as Obama.
This didn’t make all of the reports but the couple gave just over $4 million to charity – 30% of their income.
Harry Reid owes Mitt Romney and the nation an apology.

It will never happen. Dingy is pure evil like most in the socialist party.
Dingy Reid needs to have his life investigated b/c we all know he is dirty. Someone somewhere knows about something he has had a direct hand in that will destroy his career, maybe even get him locked up. Keep in mind he didn’t have money/ become multimillionaire until he seized power! Question is what will it take for that person(s) to come forward?

The Obama Campaign is complaining that Romney didn’t claim but half of his charitable contrive contributions in order to keep his tax rate the same as Obama’s. They claim that rate would haves been under 10%.

Four Pinocchios for Harry Reid’s
claim about Mitt Romney’s taxes
We use a reasonable person standard here. Without seeing Romney’s taxes, we cannot definitively prove Reid incorrect. But tax experts say his claim is highly improbable. Reid also has made no effort to explain why his unnamed source would be credible. So, in the absence of more information, it appears he has no basis to make his incendiary claim.
Moreover, Reid holds a position of great authority in the U.S. Congress. He should hold himself to a high standard of accuracy when making claims about political opponents.]
On Romney’s character….
Sometimes, this facet of Romney’s personality isn’t so subtle. In July 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner at Bain Capital, had disappeared. She had attended a rave party in New York City and gotten high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught father had no idea where she was. Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to help find Gay’s daughter. Romney set up a command center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to assist with the search. He established a toll-free number for tips, coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York, and asked them to help find his friend’s missing daughter. Romney’s accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper. Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and talked with everyone they could – prostitutes, drug addicts – anyone.
That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured photos of the girl and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, a teenage boy phoned in, asked if there was a reward, and then hung up abruptly. The NYPD traced the call to a home in New Jersey, where they found the girl in the basement, shivering and experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a massive ecstasy dose. Doctors later said the girl might not have survived another day. Romney’s former partner credits Mitt Romney with saving his daughter’s life, saying, “It was the most amazing thing, and I’ll never forget this to the day I die.”
So, here’s my epiphany: Mitt Romney simply can’t help himself. He sees a problem, and his mind immediately sets to work solving it, sometimes consciously, and sometimes not-so-consciously. He doesn’t do it for self-aggrandizement, or for personal gain. He does it because that’s just how he’s wired.
Many people are unaware of the fact that when Romney was asked by his old employer, Bill Bain, to come back to Bain & Company as CEO to rescue the firm from bankruptcy, Romney left Bain Capital to work at Bain & Company for an annual salary of one dollar. When Romney went to the rescue of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, he accepted no salary for three years, and wouldn’t use an expense account. He also accepted no salary as Governor of Massachusetts.
Character counts!! (and yes…that’s worth reading again!)
yada, blah, blah = this account comports with the known facts.]

I’m new legal scholar, but if someone accuses me of being a tax cheat, I would sue them for defamation.

Nevada’s unemployment rate has climbed to 12.1%, and the state is worth 6 Electoral Votes. I can’t believe the people of Nevada will want four more years of this type of unemployment for their state.

Only a decent person would apologize -
Granny commented:
30% to charity does not necessarily mean every dollar went to his church. I also suspect that not everything in the way of “charity” made the tax return. That 30% is only the amount that goes to entities the IRS recognizes as legal “charities.”
