I'm a dyed in the wool "America Firster" and don't think it is good for ANY American to put their money in a foreign place.
One thing you can be damn sure of though... If Charlie Rangel were running for president, you can be damn sure that I'd be screaming from the rooftops.
Especially when it comes to personal wealth.His daddy was wealthy. He inherited some dough.
On his own he earned a lot of dough.
He has invested quite a lot of his wealth.
Is he (a) supposed to know exactly what each investment firm does with each insignificant or each significant portion of his investments? or (b) supposed to care all that much if some of his money gets invested in a place like the Cayman Islands?
How and why should that be an "oh nozies" moment?
I am not a Mitt fan, but I see lots of good reasons to limit the criticism to the politics the guy has, and not waste a freakin' second on this kind of tripe.
No one else's business. But for those wringing thier hands and wanting that wealth for themselves?
Get a job and work hard...for that could be you too. Mind your own fucking business...and get to work.
Are you really trying to make the point that it is no ones business if a potential POTUS is a tax cheat? Seriously?

The money he put into those accounts was after tax money. He had already paid all the taxes that were due on it.
Mitt has only himself to blame
He knew he would be running for President and should have his money in Red White and Blue investments.
Did he really think he could just decline submitting his tax returns?

With offshore accounts that have strict regulations against disclosing account transaction, it can be difficult for the IRS or any one to prove tax fraud. This is one of several reasons why people have such accounts. Those seeking the office of president should not use such accounts, not because it's illegal, but because they're going to have to spend valuable campaign time defending themselves.Especially when it comes to personal wealth.

Did you care that just about every Democrat Obama tried to appoint to high office REALLY WAS a tax cheat?
Provide for us several things.
1) the law that makes it illegal for someone to have money in the Caymen's banks.
2) proof that Romney has EVER cheated on his taxes.
3)evidence he has violated any law in regards where he keeps, invests or spends his money.
Just so we are clear...... Money is not taxed. Earnings are taxed. After I win the lottery and pay my taxes on that specific amount all that is left over is not going to get taxed again no matter how many years I own it for.
Hey..if it's fine..then there should be no problem with reporting on it.
It would be just like if he went to Vegas and hired prostitutes. It's not illegal.
Actually Sallow... Prostitution in Vegas is illegal....It's illegal in any city with a population of 50K or more.... but I get your point.
No more "ranches"?
The fact that no one can prove he broke the law does not make him a good candidate. In fact, the less baggage a candidate has the better and Romney certain has quite a bit.But tax experts tell ABC News there are other reasons Romney may not want the public viewing his returns. As one of the wealthiest candidates to run for president in recent times, Romney has used a variety of techniques to help minimize the taxes on his estimated $250 million fortune. In addition to paying the lower tax rate on his investment income, Romney has as much as $8 million invested in at least 12 funds listed on a Cayman Islands registry. Another investment, which Romney reports as being worth between $5 million and $25 million, shows up on securities records as having been domiciled in the Caymans.
Official documents reviewed by ABC News show that Bain Capital, the private equity partnership Romney once ran, has set up some 138 secretive offshore funds in the Caymans.

I'll use small words for you, Chris, to make it easier for you to understand...
Did
he
break
any
laws?
If so, he should be investigated, prosecuted, and if found guilty, punished, to the fullest extent of the law.
If not, you and yours should all shut the fuck up about it and go on about your hate filled lives.

Yup...and he wants to make sure he doesn't have to pay taxes on any of his future profits
The Super PACs are going to have a field day with this
Do the banks in the Camyan Islands loan money to American small business and industry? Do we know that Mr. Romney's wealth is being used to stimulate the American economy?
Is it possible that his money is loaned to Hugo Chavez, or Raul Castro?
Does even Mr. Romney know (or care)?
There is nothing wrong with sheltering income. Anyone with a 401K or an IRA is doing so. However sheltering income via offshore accounts adds a veil of secrecy and it is that veil of secrecy that can destroy a candidate. Voters want total transparency in their presidential candidates. When a candidate throws up a curtain around any part of their lives, the opposition and the media will exploit it to it's fullest. I think this is just one of a number of problems that Romney has that will make him unelectable.It's not illegal. I care about people who break the law - or their oath of office, or act unethically. Having offshore accounts is none of these.
Therefore, this is whining. Jealous, petty assclowns who can't deal with a successful American.
Okay, CG, if you really think this is going to go over well with average working folks who play by the rules and pay their taxes and are struggling in this economy.
I am an 'average working folk who play by the rules and pay their taxes and is struggling in this economy'.
As long as Romney, or Obama, or Newt, or who the fuck ever, doesn't break any laws, I don't care HOW they shelter their income.
If you don't like the tax laws, elect someone who will change them. Don't whine about people who studied them, found the flaws, and used them.
For the record, I think the tax laws need to be simplified, and loopholes that allow tax shelters offshore need to be fixed.

What business is it of yours what Romney does with his money? Answer... none.
You cannot hold depositor responsible for what the bank invests in, dip-shit. Unless you want to apply that standard to ALL banks... even the ones Democrats have their money in.
