1. Paul Ryan released two years' worth of his tax returns, and they're basically no big deal:

Paul Ryan and his wife paid an effective tax rate of 20 percent last year and 15.9 percent the year before, according to tax returns the presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee released late on Friday afternoon.

Ryan’s tax returns, released through Mitt Romney’s campaign, show that he paid $64,764 in taxes on $323,416 of adjusted gross income in 2011. He and his wife paid $34,233 in taxes on $215,417 of adjusted gross income in 2010...Ryan’s 2010 tax returns are 59 pages, for example, about the same number that Romney deals with only his transactions with foreign entities.

Mitt Romney still has only released one and a half years' worth of taxes. We're still waiting on the rest of his 2011 forms, which should be quite illuminating.
