SHUSTER: Actually, Governor, if you think a limited release is going to put this issue behind you, you're politically tone-deaf. First, your 2010 return indicates you paid a rate of 13.9 percent. Furthermore, it suggests you paid far lower than that in 2009. You see, the 2010 return reveals you carried over $4.9 million dollars in losses from the previous year. That means you paid no taxes on capital gains in 2009, including no taxes on your carried interest.

So how much did you pay in 2009? Zero? How close to zero was it, Governor? Or how about the 2008 year, where the investment market first crashed?

Romney has never been a member of congress

It would make sense for America to elect a real life corporate raider who specialized
in destroying the jobs that are supposed to keep us independent and off the government
teet. It is miraculous that Mitt Romney become fabulously wealthy putting people onto
the rolls of the Welfare system and bolstering companies that shift production to South
East Asia. The race for the bottom and Romney is an expert, a Jedi corporatist.
