I can't come to a reasonable conclusion here. Help a brother out. The facts:
1. Romney has been running for president for going on 6 years now.
2. Romney had to know that his tax returns would be an issue (right?).
3. Romney is not a slobbering idiot.
4. Every single person in Romney's political employ is not a slobbering idiot.
Given these four facts, why did Romney and his ongoing campaign come to the conclusion that he should unabashedly lower his tax exposure to the lowest possible point? This is what I've got:
1. He thought showing low tax exposure would be a strength. It would show what is possible for an American to achieve.
2. He's a greedy idiot.
So yea, the only reasonable conclusion I can come to is that he thought it would be a strength. Then the OWS thing happened and the 1%ers got the spotlight and Romney goes from the poster child for America's greatness and possibility to the poster child for being a rich douche nozzle that doesn't pay taxes.
And it's not like it's the drippy hippies that are full bore bashing Romney. It's the ing Republican primary for 's sake. Even they're freaking out about it. Is it because they're afraid of how it looks or because they're seeing what it looks like in reality (ie rich shitbags being rich shitbags that don't pay taxes) instead of an idealized reality (where captains of industry use the lower tax exposure to create jerbs fer murkins)?
I don't get it.
