Fact - if Romney were a tax cheat, the IRS would have caught him. My belief - people eaten up by resentment over alleged cheating by others are rationalizing their own behavior.

Romney Goes On Offense, Pays For It In First Wave Of Fact Checks by Mark Memmott and Scott Montgomery October 4, 2012 One of the biggest disputes was over tax cuts. Obama argued that Romney's plan to stimulate the economy includes a tax cut totaling $5 trillion that, Obama said, isn't possible because the Republican nominee is also promising to spend money in other places. Romney flatly disputed that number. "First of all, I don't have a $5 trillion tax cut," he said. Who's right? The Washington Post's Fact Checker says the facts on this one are on Obama's side. The New York Times notes that Romney "has proposed cutting all marginal tax rates by 20 percent — which would in and of itself cut tax revenue by $5 trillion." FactCheck.org has weighed in too, tweeting during the debate that "Romney says he will pay for $5T tax cut without raising deficit or raising taxes on middle class. Experts say that's not possible." PolitiFact has given a "mostly true" rating to the charge that "Romney is proposing a tax plan "that would give millionaires another tax break and raise taxes on middle class families by up to $2,000 a year." ........more npr.org
