He doesn't have any off shore accounts anymore. That was years ago that he had a Swiss bank account. He still had to pay taxes on that money before he put it in a foreign account. More class warfare from the left.
If I had millions of dollars, I'd take full advantage of the legal loopholes there are in order not to pay high taxes. We should get rid of the loop holes and lower taxes across the board.
It is unfortunate that you can't get elected unless you have money. The Obamas included.
I'm glad Romney is successful in business and he shouldn't apologize for it. He knows how the economy works and he's the one that can get us back on track to prosperity.
Sorry, I sound like a political add. I just thought that was a funny quote from Mike Huckabee.
I won't send anymore. I wasn't sure if you were still an Obama supporter.

- Why do people assume that someone who "is successful in business" understands "how the economy works"? Isn't the idea of free markets that you don't need to understand anything about how the larger economy works, you just maximize your own profit, and , magically, the economy will be fine? (against all evidence, I might add.) The Republicans don't know how to help the economy as a whole, and don't care to anyway, they're fine with just sucking up all the money for themselves.
- However, Romney has never run a business that actually produced any good or service that actually had a positive effect in the general economy.

From Tulsa, OK:
Kim raises an excellent point. A person's "success in business" is indicative only of how well they play the game. In the GOP Game of Life, the goal is to get all the money for yourself; along the way you con people into helping you get all the money and the more successful the con (people who are sick or poor really want to be that way, if I help you get your wheelchair over that curb I'm only teaching you to be dependent) the quicker the you get all the money and win. Today's GOP leaders do not appear to be interested in helping anyone other than themselves, or these multi-millionaires would be willing to pay their fair share of what it costs to maintain this country. Instead they hide their resources, lie about how much they have, and believe they are entitled to let someone else pave the roads, build the infrastructures, protect the natural resources, and fund the servicemen and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect the country they love to pillage.
It wasn't always this way,. the GOP used to be very different.
On a related note - I just read an article in today's paper that Paul Ryan is crowing about his "business experience". He was 27 when he worked for only one year in his family's construction business. I have to think that if he was any good, like any other business, they would have kept him around. Either that or actual work - the kind which produces measurable results - did not much appeal to him. To tout that as "business experience" is a demonstration of just how out-of-touch these people really are.
