ESPECIALLY WELL-PLAYED:
Jeb Bush releases 33 years of tax returns, advocates for fairer tax code (Stephanie Talmadge, 6/30/15, The Week)
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush published a whopping 33 years of personal tax returns to his campaign website Tuesday, a new record in American politics. The former Florida governor reported an effective rate of 36 percent over the years."In my case, I paid the government more than one in three dollars that I earned in my career. Astounding," Bush writes. "I think I speak for everyone, no matter your tax rate: we need to get more money back in your pocket and less in the federal kitty."
