Sure he talks big about everyone should pay more including him, but he wont volunteer that money until he HAS to. Thus, same as taking all the breaks you can till it isn't legal.
Blame the game not the players..
How much has Romney donated to charities, how much has Obama?
You can look at numbers and stuff from a million different angles.
How much did Mitt pay total in taxes how much did Obama? Well I guess I don't think Mitt has released his taxes yet.

I'm not saying Obama doesn't take all of the tax breaks he can. I'm sure he does. But I don't think Obama is moving money off shore to the Cayman Islands. I think the difference between what Obama makes and Romney makes is staggering - two different leagues. Obama made $789,674 in 2011 while Romney made $20.9 million. Romney pays more in taxes than Obama makes.....
When it comes to paying taxes, there are different ways of going about it. Most people take honest deductions while others write off repairs to their truck as their "company car". Then you have Romney who most likely has a team of advisers telling him how to stash his money.
You can look at numbers from different angles... How much did Romney give to charities? Most likely more than Obama made. But.... How much of Ronmey's giving was really more of a benefit to him as tax write offs?
