Smitten

via Sully:
13.9 percent. If you're really, really rich, that's all you have to pay in taxes, we see more plainly today. It seems to me that this is not about Romney and shouldn't be about Romney. He broke no laws; he seems admirably charitable; his massive wealth is not a marker against him.

The issue is the system. The president and the Democrats should not be piling on Romney because he's rich. They should be piling on the tax code because it is so insane. This issue is populist and good economics.
People are also giving Mitt shit for giving more money to the Mormon Church than the government but, in his defense, Eliza Dushku is Mormon, so....Mitt, I'm just saying: I get it, bro. I get it.
