Vets: Is Romney Paying His Fair Share to Provide For Our Troops?

VoteVets.org has a question for potential Commander in Chief Mitt Romney:
Mitt Romney. He still refuses to release his taxes. We simply don’t know if Mitt Romney has been paying his fair share. If he only pays a 15 percent tax on his capital gains, his tax rate would be lower than most of our career military and retirees. If he has money offshore and pays no tax on that, then as a percentage of his overall income, he might be paying a lower rate than anyone in our military. Join our petition below, calling on Mitt Romney to release his taxes.
At a time when our men and women in uniform are putting their lives on the line for America, and paying taxes, we need to know if Mitt Romney is making a fair contribution to America, our troops, and our veterans. We need to know if, as a multi-millionaire, he is paying his fair share to provide for our troops in the field, and their care when they come home. It would be extremely disconcerting to have someone running to be Commander in Chief who is paying a lower tax rate than the majority of our troops and military retirees.
Support our troops. Sign the petition asking Mitt Romney to come clean here. They have a right to know how the financial status of their potential leader compares to theirs.
