Romney’s Odd Definition of ‘Not Following the Law'

Romney’s Odd Definition of ‘Not Following the Law'
Posted by Beverly Mann | 9/22/2012 11:01:00


I don't pay more than are legally due and frankly if I had paid more than are legally due I don't think I'd be qualified to become president. I'd think people would want me to follow the law and pay only what the tax code requires.

-- Mitt Romney, speaking to ABC’sDavid Muir, July 29, 2012


Sooo … Romney sees no difference between committing a crime—tax evasion—and consciously choosing to not employ every tax dodge conceivably available in order to barely skirt the line of legally.

And he thinks people wouldn’t want a president who chooses not to do the latter.

Yikes
