Not At Fault But...

Mitt Romney says that he pays about 15% in federal income tax. I imagine most of those who will read this pay between 20 and 30 percent. It is not Mitt Romney's fault that he pays such a paltry portion compared to you and me. I'm sure that his accountant broke no laws when he signed his name to Mr. Romney's tax return. Neither can Romney be held accountable for the federal laws that put wealthy individuals like him at such an advantage come tax time. He is not the president yet after all. So why does he seem so embarrassed by the revelation that he pays only 15%. My guess is that having savagely criticized occupy Wall Street, he is rightly uncomfortable to see their complaints starkly validated in his own life story.
