Bill White pays only 15% taxes

I'll have more to say on Bill White's tax returns, but what struck me more than anything else (and made my blood pressure rise!):

All told, White reported adjusted gross income of $11.8 million from 2004 to 2009, paying $1.7 million in taxes for the period.

White paid under 15% in taxes. Under 15%

My guess is that your average working American pays around 35% a year in taxes. Bill White is a multimillionaire, yet he pays only 15% taxes?

Bill White obviously has some good accountants. But next time he talks about how we Texans might need to pay higher taxes, how about he pays his fair share?
