Solz doubles down on teh Stupid

Jon Soltz, the executive director of VetVotes, freshly bathed from his tour of the war against terror, continues on from his blunt point last week about Mitt Romney’s tax returns. Apparently, last week, the meme from the White House was to beat up Romney about not releasing his returns, now his returns weren’t enough for […]

Naw, this ain’t class warfare at all

The Washington Post this morning decides that for some reason they’d take some shots at Mitt Romney’s income taxes by publishing a chart from Citizens for Tax Justice who they say “is liberal-leaning but nonpartisan”.
