News roundup: Josh Romney: Hey, Harry Reid, my dad pays taxes

Josh Romney: Hey, Harry Reid, my dad pays taxes. Herbert: The White House likes my health care plan. Rep. Stewart ahead in money race.

Happy Wednesday. During the 2012 campaign, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took to the Senate floor to claim that Mitt Romney had paid zero taxes for several years and that's why he wouldn't release his tax returns. Well, Romney's son Josh — who lives in Utah — wanted to tweak Reid a bit yesterday and tweeted out a picture of his dad waiting in line at the post office to mail his taxes. "Hey @SenatorReid here's a shot of @MittRomney paying taxes. Does it every year. It's how you get your paycheck," Josh Romney wrote. [ABCNews] [NRO]
