I&#8217;ve been struck by how much of the Republican primary has centered around Mitt Romney&#8217;s tax bill (as Mike pointed out).  It is interesting to note &#8220;conservatives&#8221; turning on one another regarding someone&#8217;s taxes being too low, which goes against the de [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=criticismasinspiration.com&amp;blog=5399005&amp;post=2620&amp;subd=criticismas&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
