The more I think about, the more personally disgusting the actions of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid appear.
It is outright lying to wildly claim that Romney "did not pay any taxes for ten years" or imply that Romney was dishonest in his tax filings.
Romney may have had a low tax rate based on his capital gains/retirement accounts. But Reid is implying a more sinister accusation that Romney is cheating the US government and a tax dodger.
It is just personally disgusting for the Senate leader to lie without any proof that another US Citizen is purposely evading taxes. It doesn't matter if you are accusing your neighbor, your boss, or a presidential candidate about tax evasion without any solid proof.
Harry Reid's statements are worst than gutter politics because he is claiming the IRS is not doing its job, and that Romney did not pay his required american taxes.
I think that there will be an Ethics Violation for Harry Reid, but I don't think he cares at this point in his life.
