I have always preferred following BBC coverage on the different political candidates in the United States. I think that the reporting is relatively unbiased, very professional, and goes straight to the facts. This is why I prefer watching this compared to American media. After viewing BBC's take on the GOP, the reader has the option to form his or her opinion in accordance with what is presented in the article. This article compares Romney's income with Gingrich's and other former presidents. It states that he pays exactly what he owes in taxes, and "nothing more." He also gives a good portion of his income to diverse charity organizations. I think that although Romney's income is very high compared to present and former candidates, it does not mean that it should be held against him and that he is not a good candidate. However, I do think that many voters will think that because none of his income comes from wages, and all is from investments, he can not relate to the average American who must work for an income, and also many of the unemployed who are struggling.
