Santorum Tax Return Reax

Responses from an article about Santorum releasing his taxes…the comments are always, always, always better than the actual story.  Just classic:
If the man is not bright enough to save his own money why should we let him play with ours? 
When told of this, Romney replied, ” Well, I guess Rick needs a better tax attorney, or a Swiss bank account and put the rest in the Cayman Islands ! No reason in the world, he should be paying more than 15%.” 
Santorum pays more because his taxes are based on the salary he earns. Romney is not paid a salary, he pays taxes on the dividends he earns from investments. Capital gains from investments are taxed at a lower tax rate. Its not Romneys fault that the IRS sets the percentages for different incomes. Its not illegal so let it go. 
”So both Romney and Santorum paid what the law allocated them to pay. In other words, both men obeyed the law. Was it a slow news day or something??????” 
Agree with others on this site … if Santorum … who makes more than I do … cannot manage his own finances and understand the tax code enough to minimize his taxes … no way can this career politician manage our country’s budget and get us out of this financial mess his fellow career politicians got us into or were too clueless to avoid. We need some savvy business men to get us out of this financial mess and to avoid any future ones … I don’t trust career politicians with no private sector experience to help us … I see only Romney and Paul as the only two non career politicians savvy enough to know how to get us out of this mess.
