In other words, treat himself just like we are to be treated.

oh, puhleeze, buggy...if romney does not take advantage of the legal loopholes to which he is entitled to - will you follow his example and give up yours, too?
how are you treated differently when you prepare your tax return or have it prepared? what is the difference in your preparation that romney's other than income? if you made more money, you, too, could probably have more loopholes, no?
what his accountants prepare is legal - at least as far as the irs has seemed to indicate. and where have you heard that romney wants the american taxpayer to pay their fair share - i thought that was obama's line.
if you want to hold a candidate for the office of the president of the united states to a higher standard/example, how should we hold obama to a higher standard/example than the rest of our citizenry who are no more or less american [debate on the latter issue for a different therad
]?
