GREER, S.C. — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Thursday that he has paid a tax rate of at least 13 percent in each of the past 10 years, offering his fullest explanation to date of his tax status.
‘‘I did go back and look at my taxes and over the past 10 years I never paid less than 13 percent. I think the most recent year is 13.6 or something like that. So I paid taxes every single year,’’ he told reporters.
Comments
Of course it was legal. Hey, Mitt paid good money to have those laws written. The reason he won't release them is the rate he paid depends on what you include as taxable income. He paid way less than anyone with a lunch box in their hands, we know that.
what a ridiculous distraction this is
Why do so many of us pay to have our tax returns made out by a professional? Is it because we are not smart enough or we want to get all of the breaks we are entitled to? If the laws allow it,take it.
