Romney: POTUS candidate, dodging taxes through Swiss bank acc and Cayman Isl. investments.

Hell, the fucking Pony Express was a socialist project as was the TVA, the Interstate Highways, most major water supplies, treatment plants and on and on and on.
We have a socialist military and socialist police forces.

Likewise with the Interstate Highway system, it was conceived and built for the purpose of national defense, and commercial contractors were employed to construct the highway system. The TVA was an FDR project, but during WWII, it too served a military purpose: constructing the A-bomb.

No he isn't. Just because someone has an overseas account doesn't mean they are "dodging taxes".

Your post shows how little you understand the global financial market. Originally Posted by Whirlaway

If it turns out that he pays 31.5% like I do on most of my income, I won't have one word of complaint. I await his full and complete explanation with bated breath. Mitt, please come on down and clear your name.

If he hasn't committed a crime, what's the big deal? I haven't heard of any criminal investigation, which doesn't mean there shouldn't be one, but unless there is, this is a non issue. Sure, he should disclose where it is, and why and how it got there, but seriously, this is just an attempt to play the class warfare card. It's not going to fly very far. Be indignant, TTH. No one else really cares.

Considering that President Obama has already stated that he spent the last two years of high school in a daze due to "drinking beer heavily and experimenting with drugs enthusiastically" I'd like to know how he got into Occidental. Was he able to keep his grades up while under the influence of multiple substances?

Dodging taxes??? Now we already now that Romney pays a lot of taxes but for the sake of argument (let me repeat, for the sake of argument) lets say that you are correct. Did Romney break any laws? NO. Was the tax code set up just for this to happen? You betcha. Then there is that word dodging... if someone follows the rules and registers for selective service and is never called up is that called draft dodging? No, it is not unless you're Rush Limbaugh and then you will get called a lot of names for being lucky. Now if you twist the rules of selective service, lie in a letter asking for a deferment, and then shit on the people who took your place in the lottery you possibly broke the law and you are a draft dodger like Bill Clinton.

So back to reality... Romney paid his taxes unlike Van Owens, Geithner, Rangel, McCaskill, Cleaver, and so many other democrats.

But i also know what the two of you would be saying if we took the word "Romney" and replaced it with the term "Obama".
