So, Willard's got millions of dollars tucked away in the Cayman Islands. I guess 15% isn't low enough for him.

No wonder he doesn't want to release his past tax records.

Attacking Mitt Romney for anything related to economics, taxes and spending while Obama is pleading for a third "Porkulus" of 1.2 trillion is not gonna fool many people .

New Jersey Gov Chris Christie, a strong Romney ally, urged the candidate to immediately release his tax returns rather than waiting until April: “Put them out sooner than later because it’s always better to have full disclosure.”

Romney won't do it. Much too embarrassing.

Wages are also subject to payroll taxes for huge social services programs, while investment earnings are not.

Weren't they subject to payroll taxes when they were first earned? Is so, then the payroll tax point is moot.

No. If you "earn" a dollar and then invest it and end up with 5 dollars, four of them were never subject to payroll taxes.
