So, now we're talking about Nixon......

Yea, I have read how much of a crook he was.......but he was a choirboy compared to TODAY'S standards of being a crook.

Also, his taxes were amended and he eventually paid over 400k in taxes for those questionable years.. He also paid over 70k the year before and for years after.

Here is an interesting link about Nixon and his tax troubles: http://www.taxhistory.org/thp/readin...3?OpenDocument

BUT HEY, I guess being transparent and all you didn't want to share that.

Back to Romney.

Romney paid 3.4 million in taxes on 20 million in investment income in 2010. He also gave 3 million to charity.
Romney "expected" to pay over 3 million on 20 million this year. He also gave nearly 4 million to charity. His taxes for this year have not been released....but this is from statements he or is campaign have released.

I don't know why Romney doesn't release more.........personally I don't CARE.
