It really is not possible for Mittens to have paid no taxes like that, unless, as is highly unlikely, he had large operating loss carry forwards, or failed to pay himself and used complex stock option arrangements where the strike price was at market value (also highly unlikely). Reid of course knows about as much about taxes as my long dead pet cat, so his yippings on this, and repeating of the hearsay of someone equally ignorant, do not surprise me.
Dude, I'm sure he knows as much as you about taxes, the point is his statement has nothing to do with taxes - it is beautiful politics. Reid is great. We need more smear-artists on our side.
There is no downside for Reid. He "repeated" what "someone else" said, and even pointed out that it could be completely false. The people of Nevada won't remember this in 4 years (and if you think they will, then you must go to clown school).
