Hah it must have been a lie, that page is all about Hurricane Sandy.
Works here... Must be that Republican alter-universe you live in that blocks all negative information that conflicts with your beliefs.
It is amazing to see close to majority of the people, including the middle class that Romney is trying to screw, are buying this bs.

It's good that RMoney has "calculated" the political fallout about being honest about what a spoiled Richie Rich clan he heads. I hope to see that his calculations run afoul of the American sense of equality and openness.

"It is amazing to see close to majority of the people, including the middle class that Romney is trying to screw, are buying this bs."
Apparently, the majority of the "middle class" don't appreciate the benefits of high unemployment and high gasoline prices. Haha!
Why not just give everyone a high paying, preferential government job? Oh, wait, once EVERYONE has access to the GUM store, then what's the point?
"The letter, by University of Texas Law School Professor Calvin Johnson, focuses on two trusts Romney has set up: one for his children, which is worth over $100 million, and an $87 million retirement trust. "

It does make you wonder why the media is always pulling up someone from the academia or a lawyer to discuss what otherwise would have been a question for a CPA ? This guy probably never even worked on a clients individual or corporate tax return in his life. I doubt he has any experience in such tax matters.
I always assumed everyone cheated like hell on their income taxes. Its the american thing to do. What kind of jackass doesn't "cheat" on their income taxes?

Finally, PolishKnight is making some sense.

Yes, why on earth would be believe a respected tax attorney who teaches tax law could know anything about this subject. Dumbass...
How does that prove HE CHEATED on taxes
Because Romney filed taxes that said he gave his kids an asset worth $X, (not taxable) when when in fact it was worth $Y (which is taxable). That's tax fraud, pure and simple.
Either that or you have to believe that while you and the rest of the planet are getting 2% interest on your bond investment, but Romney's investment has magically been earning 4% (note, I know its not actually a savings bond, but the concept illustrates the point)

Hahaha! Go to work for the dailyshow or SNL. Please. You might be able to make 95% of the shows somewhat funny.
Headline News, this just in: "If Romney gets elected, he voes to donate his salary to charity. If Obama wins, he voes to donate yours".
This whole story originated from a Republican:

Romney Avoids Taxes Exploiting Loophole Cutting Mormon Donations
In short, Romney's trust funds for his kids are earning astronomical returns on investments that historically have modest returns. As conservative columnist George Will said, "Romney has calculated that releasing his returns will be much more damaging than not releasing them."
