Romney Paid Low Rate on Millions in Investment Income 
------------------------------------------------------



Mitt Romney has released tax forms showing he payed an effective tax
rate of 15.4 percent last year and an even lower rate of 13.9 percent
the year before—substantially lower than the rate of most working
Americans. Overall, Romney reported income of $43.6 million for 2010 and
2011, virtually all of it from investments. Romney's charitable
contributions included $4.1 million to the Mormon Church.
