CHEAT SHEET
TOP 10 RIGHT NOW
Following furious demands from Democrats to release his tax returns, Mitt Romney offered the fullest explanation yet of his tax status Thursday, saying that he paid a tax rate of at least 13 percent of his income in each of the last 10 years. That’s a long way off from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s claim that an investor at Bain Capital told him that Romney paid nothing in taxes over the last decade. “I’m sure waiting for Harry to put up who it was that told him what he says they told him,” Romney said. “I don’t believe it for a minute, by the way.”
