Regardless of what one thinks of whether Romney should make public more tax records, how does his mere (re)assertion that he's paid more than zero in taxes over the past decade … actually prove anything?
I mean, there's Fox News headlining the story on its front page as "ROMNEY ANSWERS THE TAX QUESTION" — when all he's done is said, "Yeah, I went into the Top Secret vault under Mansion #5, looked at the tax forms I signed for the last decade, and, yup, I sure did pay taxes. Next question?"

Thirteen percent, huh? That's one-seventh the top rate during the late Eisenhower admin, back when everything was supposedly peachy.
Bah. Eisenhower was definitely pink. He didn't appreciate how valuable the military-industrial complex was to this great nation!
Yeah, what does a five-star general know about military spending? Leave that to the politicians!
