Mr. Romney’s return for 2011 showed that he paid an effective federal income tax rate of 14 percent last year, or a little more than $1.9 million on adjusted gross income of about $13.7 million.
Meanwhile, Paul Ryan, Romney's running mate, paid $64,674, or about 20 percent on adjusted gross income of $323,416.
Let me see if I've got this straight: Mitt Romney made more than forty times as much as Paul Ryan and yet paid federal income taxes at a significantly lower rate.
Does that seem right to you?
