The Wire creator David Simon has a few things to say about that now infamous Mitt Romney quote where the GOP nominee claims he hasn't paid less than 13 percent in taxes for the past ten years - namely, how unimpressed he is. Taking to his blog, Simon called the claims "stunning," and pondered, "Am I supposed to congratulate this man? Thank him for his good citizenship? Compliment him for being clever enough to arm himself with enough tax lawyers so that he could legally minimize his obligations?"
From the post:
None
Simon has been outspoken about his views on politics and particularly taxes in the past - just last year during a speech at UNC, he said that he believed he made too much money, and, "I need to pay more taxes."
What do you think of Simon's criticisms?
