Why did Newt push so hard for Mitt to release his tax info?

All it did was show that Mitt paid a low rate (13.9%) on his $20 million plus yearly earnings and make a majority of people even madder about the rate someone weathly can pay vs someone working hard and making say $50- 60,000 a year.

Here's the catch though, Mitt's income was mostly from capital gains, which are taxed at a lower rate than other types of income and Newt said he would eliminate the capital gains tax all together if elected so all he would be doing is making Mitt even more wealthy.

Kinda puts them both in a pickle IMHO


Oh yeah, this proabably deserves it's own thread but Newt wants to establish a Moon colony by 2020 if elected.

Talk about a brilliant idea and waste of money.
