He's on tape saying he didn't pay a dollar more than he should. If he did overpay, bully for him! But why lie?

In the face of such arguments, Romney’s defense is that he never broke the rules: if there is a problem, it is in the laws, not in his behavior. “I pay all the taxes that are legally required, not a dollar more,” he said. Even so. “When you are running for president, you might want to err on the side of overpaying your taxes, and not chase every tax gimmick that comes down the pike,” says (Lee) Sheppard (of Tax Notes). “It kind of looks tacky.”

Stop helping, Erick Erickson!
