re: #112 Targetpractice

It’s his own damned fault. He could have ignored Reid, stated that his campaign wasn’t going to answer his accusations. Yeah, it would have made him look like he’s got something to hide, but that was the situation before Reid’s accusation

Instead, now he’s fallen into the trap, stuck in a situation where he either provides proof that he never paid less than 13% or looks like a damned liar who expects us to be stupid enough to take him at his word.

Actually that’s not the trap into which he’s fallen. Let me use hyperbole for a minute.

“Hey, officer, I didn’t kill ten people. I only killed two of them.”

Yeah, see the point? Even if he’s being straight, most of the US voters are going: You paid 13%, I paid over 20%.

It’s not that he didn’t pay taxes. It’s that he paid a lesser share than pretty much everyone else - despite (or perhaps because) being a multimillionaire.
