Let's start this off clearly. No, there is nothing wrong with the way Mitt Romney paid his taxes. He did it legally, he paid what he owed.

The problem is with how much he owed (about the same as someone who makes between $17-$69K)— so bash the tax code and not the Romney, right?

Well what about Romney's policies? Right now, he has the whole world watching him and asking the question: How would you change America if you got the chance? What injustices or wrongs do you see around you that you would correct as (arguably) the most powerful man in America?

There are a lot of issues he's talked about, but changing tax rates on capital gains or carried interest isn't one of them. Here is Romney's tax plan from his website:

Maintain current tax rates on personal income

Maintain current tax rates on interest, dividends, and capital gains

Eliminate taxes for taxpayers with AGI below $200,000 on interest, dividends, and capital gains

Eliminate the death tax

Pursue a conservative overhaul of the tax system over the long term that includes lower, flatter rates on a broader base

25% flat corporate tax rate
