Josh Romney, son of 2012 GOP presidential nominee: Mitt Romney, poked a little fun at U.S. Senate Majority Leader: Harry Reid, D-Nevada, by posting a photo of his dad in line at the post office to get the envelope on his tax return postmarked April 15, the final day for filing.
Reid created a stink on the Senate floor shortly before the 2012 presidential election when he falsely claimed that Romney hadn’t paid income taxes in years.
Here’s Josh Romney’s tweet and message to Reid:
Hey @SenatorReid here's a shot of @MittRomney paying taxes. Does it every year. It's how you get your paycheck. pic.twitter.com/DwSMXzYhuR

It created quite a stir, and was retweeted almost 2,000 times in less than 24 hours. Here are some of the replies:

There were also a few snarky replies, most of which were answered quickly:
@yvonison @joshromney @SenatorReid @MittRomney Probably higher than Obama's 20.4 percent tax rate. http://t.co/gX1XP8gDRZ

@kombiz @joshromney @SenatorReid @MittRomney @mckaycoppins Paying taxes. Unlike most Democrats, we actually produce, rather than mooch.
