Romney's Wealth Well Hidden in Offshore Accounts

[romantico]

This should not surprise anyone, except maybe his gullible supporters.

"Romney had a Swiss bank account and has interests in tax havens like Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. The Romney campaign has insisted he does not use the havens to avoid paying U.S. taxes, but Vanity Fair wrote it is impossible to confirm that he is not seeing a savings.

The Republican candidate paid a 14 percent tax rate on $21.7 million in income in 2010 -far lower than the rate paid by many Americans because his earnings comes from investments rather than wages."

As far as I know, there are two reasons to keep money offshore: avoiding taxes and/or hedging against the dollar. If there are other reasons, I'd love to hear them.

[romantico]

Asking the Romney campaign about this would be considered a 'gotcha question' by our lamestream media.

[JoeKv99]

And he only pays what-14% tax? on the money we KNOW about.

I hope the independents see this. Romney is for the one percent ONLY. If somehow he gets in those who voted for him will regret it. They'll do anything to get Obama out of office but they will start praising Obama when they see the damage Mitt does. Lets not forget, it will not be Mitt calling the shots but all those who paid for his presidency. Mitt will have to pay them back and the 'average American' will pay the price.

My Dad who hates Obama told me he won't be voting this year because he says as much as he hates Obama, Romney will be a lot worse.

The Obama campaign seize the hell out of this.

Their whole attack on McCain not remembering how many houses he owns did a good amount of damage.

This is even worse.

I wish he was running my 401K
$612,000 in contributions and $20-100 Million payoff?

Remember when Ann Romney was the thing that was gonna clinch the election for him? Cause she's so relatable?

Three blind trusts in her name in offshore accounts? I mean...

[Kad]

Like there's even a real contest for who's more relatable between Ann Romney and Michelle Obama.

Doesn't every housewife and mother have a little cookie jar money?

[SonofRobbieJ]

I'm confused. I don't have a thesaurus near me, but isn't 'relatable' a synonym for 'white?'

Every mother knows how to stretch a dollar. Ann Romney can just stretch hers overseas.

[JoeKv99]

I'm just an ordinary housewife and mother, just like all you housewives and mothers out there!

[romantico]

Apparently she owns a couple of Cadilacs

[JoeKv99]

Ann Itemized over $77K for expenses related to care and feeding of her dressage horse.

Median income in the US is about $30K. A person working full-time for minimum wage earns $15,080 annually.

But Michelle eats lobster!!!

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

And then has the NERVE to tell kids to eat vegetables and get some exercise!

[JoeKv99]

Wow, he really is engaging in some awfully shady stuff. He has dodged millions of dollars in taxes.
He's going to have to answer some questions eventually
