Oops.
Relevant to Mitt Romney engineering his 2011 tax returns to show an ostensibly more presidential tax rate,
Salon reminds us of this lovely gem:
Romney is even on record declaring that the act of paying more than he owed would mean he shouldn’t be eligible for the presidency!
From time to time I’ve been audited, as happens, I think, to other citizens as well, and the accounting firm which prepares my taxes has done a very thorough and complete job pay taxes as legally due. 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.
I'm sure he's flip-flipping on this previous position as well.
