"...Romney, whose main income came from capital gains earnings on business dealings, paid a tax rate of about 14 percent while most taxpayers paid more than double that."

That's a malicious bald faced lie.

IRS data from 2010 shows someone making between $50,000 and $75,000 on average pays an effective rate of 7.8 percent. Even someone making between $100,000 and $200,000 pays a 12.1 percent rate -- also lower than Romney's.  It also shows that nearly 50% of all American households pay ZERO federal income tax.

This sly GOP hit piece reveals how ignorant most Americans, including newspaper editors, are of effective tax rates. A correction and apology is in order for this one.

If there's anyone in here who doesn't take advantage of every possible tax break available to them, please raise your hand.
