Mitt Romney's Tin Ear on... This Time, Taxes

"I heard that I'm projected to easily win in Florida, so I thought I would say something really insulting to the intelligence of voters."

Mitt, you pay about 14% in federal taxes on your income, not 50%. No amount of prevarication will change that.

If you consider that the money that was paid to the corporations that paid Romney cycled through other businesses and entities that were taxed, and that some of the money may have come directly from the government - icky tax money - maybe Romney can make the case that his tax rate is 99%.
