Well, no. We have received the last two years tax returns, showing he paid 14% on his earned income. Thats bad enough because its well below what Mr Average American paid.
What about the previous 8 years? Believe it or not, his spin doctors have tried to pass us off with "an Accountants calculation of the sort of levels of tax he would have paid"
I kid you not!
Conclusion? Not Rocket Science. He's got something to hide.
The man is an absolute, total and utter disgrace.

Of course, that 47% are those who, in the land of the free etc. don't make enough damn money to pay tax. And, in fact, they do pay taxes. Maybe not Federal income tax; but there are payroll taxes and all the taxes we moan about
: booze, smokes, gas etc. He also conveniently forgets those wealthy Americans who prefer to move their money offshore, or to hire tax lawyers and accountants to find convenient loopholes, rather than pay taxes. Poor bloody middle class, eh. The rich avoid taxes, the poor don't make enough to pay them ... guess who gets it in the ass.
And he def. does seem to have something to hide. I don't think he is a total disgrace ... that was Bush Jr., oh, and Nixon. Just an dumb, arrogant, rich sonofabitch (that's a nice little rime) who thought he could buy the White House. Hey, he still might win, though.
