More On Romney’s Tax Returns
Here’s the thing about taxes: every bit of our current tax policy offers some insight into our collective approach to social behavior. Specifically, a lot of tax focuses on what we value – and why. It’s why I find tax policy so fascinating and why the tax geeks among us continue to hone in on…

Two minutes isn’t a lot of time to talk about taxes. It’s even less time when you’re trying to get in zingers and tout your platform. That’s what makes debates both fun and frustrating.
