Romney Caught Lying On 1999-2001 Tax Returns

or he does read them, and routinely lies about why he signed them, even under oath. I don't think there is a tiny bit to choose from between the two, frankly.

Many people are above the law, troubling as it is. Until those people are held accountable with very public trials, all the publicity in the world is just that, career enhancing publicity.
