It's now way to easy to paint him as an elitist tax dodger. The problem IMO isn't that Mitt Romney or anyone else does whatever they can to reduce their effective tax rate. Â It's that fools at the top, starting in about 2002-2003, decided that minimizing the tax rate of people like Mitt Romney would be an effective policy tool. It hasn't been. Â And the tax plan of every candidate of that same party doubles down on that same philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continues to be completely untrue, and illustrates a particularly annoying truth here since only the first $112k of Mitt Romney's income is subject to the payroll tax, while for that 45%, their entire income is subject to payroll taxes.
