Newt Gingrich To Release Tax Returns, Says His Tax Rate Is ‘Around 31 Percent’ |
GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is taking flack from friend and foe alike over his unprecedented refusal to release his tax returns. Offering a small window into his finances yesterday, the millionaire candidate admitted that his current tax rate is “closer to 15 percent,” lower than what many middle-class families pay. Seeking to highlight the difference, his competitor Newt Gingrich announced today that he will release his 2010 tax returns tomorrow which, he says, will show that his tax rate is around 31 percent.
