Reason actions (those from within the last ten years) are a pretty good indicator of who someone really is, and if someone is going to be talking about tax when in a position to influence tax policy then it is quite relevant, in my opinion, to know how they actually act.
Recent, maybe?

And you think that us seeing something that hasn't (presumably) been audited as fishy by the IRS will make a difference? I think people only want to see it for the same reasons as those who want to see the Kate boobies. Or the Obama birth certificate.
what does it mean to "pay no federal income tax"?

I think the reasoning is that since they go to entitlement programs, it's not entirely a tax.

Does that mean the correct number is that 27.6%?

That is correct - some folks have such negative income taxes, it offsets payroll as well.
