Information about Mitt Romney’s taxes was released today.
More Romney: effective tax rate for 2011 was 14.1 percent … he & his wife donated $4,020,772 to charity in 2011, nearly 30 pct of income

The Romneys gave 30 percent of their income to charity. Yes, charity. You know, the thing that does far more good than government bureaucracy ever could. They also paid a higher tax rate. Narrative destroyed!
Just in from Romney camp: In 2011, the Romneys paid $1,935,708 in taxes on $13,696,951 in mostly investment income ….

Romney gave 30% of his income last year to charity. Yes, he's clearly a greedy, selfish one-percenter who doesn't care about the poor.

Key fact, via non-partisan Big Four accounting firm: fed + state taxes + charity=38.5% of Romney's income last 20 yrs http://t.co/Ool40RPx

Left upset that Romney picked a HIGHER tax rate for himself? I thought he was a tax avoider or a tax cheat. Harry Reid to the white phone.

Reminder: Romney gives a lot more to charity than just money http://t.co/3QStxGIF

Romney camp: The Romneys’ generous charitable donations in 2011 would have significantly reduced their tax obligation for the year.

Showing once again that they are completely out of their minds, lefties are now outraged. That Romney paid too much.

Wait, Romney released his tax records and now people complain that he paid too much in taxes? Politics confuse me.

That should work, or not. RT @guypbenson: New liberal argument: Romney paid *too much* in taxes because he gave so much to charity!!! #LOL

Somehow we went from "Mitt Romney is a tax-dodging cheat!" to "That damn Mitt Romney paid too much in taxes!" in about 10 minutes.

"Romney paid only 14.1% in taxes! He's evil!" – currently being said by lots of people who paid 0%.

Unreal! Perhaps they are trying to divert attention from the embarrassments known as Joe Biden and Harry Reid. Remember, Senator Reid just repeated his disgusting and scurrilous accusations from the Senate floor: “For all we know, Mitt Romney could be one of those who paid no taxes.” You know, because some guy who knows this girl who is dating this other guy, told him.
RT @Chris_Moody: In 2007, Biden gave $995 to charity and Obama gave $240K. In 2011, Ryan gave $13K and Romney donated $4 million.

Mitt Romney gave more to charity in an average day this year than Joe Biden has given in over a decade combined.

Harry Reid's anonymous tax source (the Obama camp) unavailable for comment today after Romney proves he's paid TONS of taxes. #LyingScum
— EveryName.com (@EveryName_com) September 21, 2012
Shouldn't this LIAR @SenatorReid apologize to the Romney family for all the lies he spread regarding their Taxes? #tcot #RomneyRyan2012

Accountants: What would Romney's effective tax rate be if he gave to charity the same % of income as Joe Biden?
— Byron York (@ByronYork) September 21, 2012
Indeed.
Romney leads by example and pays more taxes than legally required. Unlike Warren Buffett and Hollywood hypocrites who vote Obama. #tcot

Yep. The result? Frothing and insane outrage. They are out of their minds, truly.
Update: CNN/MSNBC contributor Goldie Taylor is even more unhinged.
