Ruth Marcus gets smarmy.

Seems she thinks she's got a winner in the "Release the Returns!" drive. (romneys-campaign-botches-his-tax-returns)

Funny but I don't think all Americans are as convinced as she that this issue is the biggest one facing the country and worthy of all the ... Drama! And learning that a Republican candidate practices what he preaches in seeking to lower tax rates. That's a killer. Not.

It's been interesting to watch Romney's Republican opponents doing the Obama campaign's dirty work in roughing up Romney over his record at Bain Capital. That damage was not completely foreseeable — Bain was an obvious general election target but not necessarily an issue for the GOP primary — nor was it self-inflicted. The same cannot be said about Romney's income taxes. Somewhere in the White House, David Plouffe is smiling.

Yeah, it's really helping said Republican opponents too eh? I can hear it now: "I paid in the 30% bracket -- vote for me!" "Yeah well, they dinged me for 50% of my income -- surely I'm the better man for the job!"

Heh.

(I think libs like Marcus confuse voluntary charitable contributions to the poor, through self-chosen smaller effective programs, with mandatory taxing of the State, for programs that provide perverse incentive, "reward" in ultimately harmful ways, and oftentimes, simply don't work. Voters want more Choice, not less.)
