So can Obama, yet he didn’t pay more than he did.
He also gave far, far less to charity than Romney. Why?
I don’t think that the bulk of Obama’s income comes from capital gains, interest, dividends and inheritance. So however paltry the windfall from expiring tax cuts might be over 10 years, Mitt’s own plan also doesn’t balance the budget and would still save himself millions (although not as much as Ryan’s).
