Since everyone’s speculating about what’s in Mitt Romney’s tax returns, I’ll take a quick stab.

Let’s stipulate that Romney paid no taxes for the last 10 years. Let’s further stipulate that he broke no laws to avoid paying  taxes.

Fine. If someone told me how to legally avoid paying any taxes, I probably wouldn’t send a donation to the IRS. I’m not saying I shouldn’t, I’m just confessing to a selfish streak in myself.

However, I would also say that a tax code that lets a multimillionaire pay no taxes is crazy and needs to be fixed. It’s as though we are deliberately saying, “If you’re rich, you’re above taxes.”

No one likes taxes, but responsible people agree that they are necessary.

So, hold your nose and pay some goddam taxes like the rest of us, Mitt!
