Romney was only responding to all the senseless brouhaha over him releasing his tax returns.

Frankly he handled it badly but I understand why. The Messiah is going to kick off his class warfare campaign tonight with the ultra wealthy hypocrite Warren Buffett's secretary sitting next to Michelle. And we are going to hear that she pays a higher tax rate than Mitt Romney. Well duh.....she pays taxes on her salary while Mitt and the ultra rich like Warren pay long-term capital gains.

But I like it anyway and my response would be something like this. "President Obama makes a good point that it does seem odd that tax laws result in Warren Buffett's secretary has a higher rate than Warren himself. However, unlike the President my response is we need to reduce her tax rate along with everyone else's rather than raising taxes on invested capital which will only result in further economic destruction beyond what his failed economic policies have already given us."
