In reply to the discussion: No taxes for ten years?!?!?!? The gig is up, Mr. Mitt Romney. [View all]gollygee
(22,336 posts)15. The spin I'm hearing
Is that if there was a legal way to avoid paying taxes, then he would have been stupid to do otherwise. Also, that anything that is legal must also be ethical.
That won't fly and they know it. There are plenty of unethical things that are legal, and they keep saying stuff like "You can't legislate morality" to explain why some things are unethical but should remain legal anyway.

Either that or he did pay -- some -- and we'll look too foolish to reveal details.
