In reply to the discussion: Romney paid 14.1 percent effective tax rate in 2011 [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)10. It's complete -- AND the tax rate is a bit higher than in the year previously released.
Interesting.
I wonder what taxes Romney is including when he claims to have paid an average of 20.2% of his income in taxes in previous years. Is he including property tax payments? What is he including?
