In lampooning rich Romney, Jon Stewart’s rare show of hypocrisy lights up cable TV…

Stewart is also estimated to have a net worth of $80 million. Depending on how he is invested, he is also earning a substantial income from his $80 million nest egg. Even if he is invested conservatively, he’s likely earning investment income of $4 million per year, which would be taxed at a rate equal to Romney’s. Indeed, between investment income and book royalties, and his salary, more than likely Stewart earns more money in the fiscal year than Romney despite paying a marginally higher tax rate.

FLASHBACK: Romney has lots to hide, destroyed 150 boxed of documents and replaced computers in Massachusetts…

Files in these categories which Romney was granted permission to destroy covered the years 1991-2006, which meant that they covered records generated by governors before Romney and also during Romney’s 2003-2007 term.

    As he mentioned on his show on more then one occassion, “I’d be happy to pay more taxes.”
    So yeah..I’m fairly certain he’s aware he pays less, but at least offers to pay more.
    Unlike  Mittington Romnasauras and his ilk
