On Richard Nixon Making Over a Half Million in '71 and Again in '72 and Only Paying $1,600 Total in Taxes

Yeah, I'm thinking that he probably was a "crook" (he apparently also used millions of dollars of public funds in an effort to beautify his own personal residences in California and Florida).

That's way low. Big contrast to someone Mitt Romney, who pays millions per year in taxes and shoulders a big part of the load. There's no way to say he is not paying his fair share.

Romney's last 2 years were 15% and 13.9%, respectively. While it sounds kind of low, it's still much higher than 95-97% of the rest of us. AND he paid well over $500,000 in property taxes.

And the total amounts to millions. Not only is he shouldering his weight, he is carrying so many of the "47% moochers" as well.

I would probably tap that 47 down to about 30 (being that the former has a lot of SS recipients in it) but, yeah, on your overall point, I agree.

I put it in quotes to call the number into question. I agree he pegged it wayyy to high.
