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

[Whirlaway]

I agree; immediately after Obama releases his full academic records.....if Romney is to be held accountable for gaming the system (with overseas accounts) then the POTUS needs to be held accountable for gaming the system as well .

Full and complete explaination with baited breath !!!!!!!!!!

You agree with me right TTH?

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.

Columbia College application, records & transcripts
Harvard College application, records & transcripts
Medical records
State of Illinois Bar Records
Private practice law client list

Why are the Medical Records, State of Illinois Bar Records and Private practice law client list important, IB?

It would be interesting to see and know whose and what interests Odumbo supported as a practicing lawyer. After all, isn't Odumbo contrafactually hammering Romney for his past association with Bain Capital?

What does any of that have to do with paying his fair share of taxes?? Romney was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. He's never paid his fair share of taxes, and in every job he's had, his pissed on the working guy.

First, there is NO mandate requiring candidates to release their tax records. what does showing his tax returns have toRomney was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. He's never paid his fair share of taxes, and in every job he's had, his pissed on the working guy. Unsubstantiated hyperbole bordering on libel, TTH. You know better.

Second, Romney's "fair share" is based entirely on what the U.S. tax code requires him to pay. It is, BTW, not based on your biased OPINION or PRESUMPTION of what he should pay.

So FYI, the Right's demand to see those sequestered Odumbo documents is EVERY bit as legitimate as your liberal-ass demands to see Romney's tax files.

Romney has paid Millions in taxes. What has Obeagleater paid?

According to you, you aren't paying your fair share, either. Set an example. Send your money to the Treasury voluntarily in the amount you think you should pay. Then you might earn a little respect. Until then, STFU about Romney's taxes. He isn't doing anything different than you.

[CuteOldGuy]

In fact, TTH, I have asked you numerous questions over the past few months. You have not answered any of them. Why do you demand answers, when you are not willing to do the same? I thought Democrats were for equal treatment and fairness. It looks like you want special treatment for yourself, and to hell with anyone else. Come to think of it, that is what Democrats are about. Never mind. I understand now.

It's simple. Even for you. Stop pretending they are in the same ballpark.

It is illegal to hide assets off shore for the purpose of avoiding income taxes.
Illegal.

Why do you keep asking for something that you have no legal right to see?
It's not illegal to keep your private records private. Thank God we have the Constitution to protect us from people like you. You respect the law of the land only when it suites you while claiming others are in violation of “your laws”.
It's not illegal to ignore people like yourself.
It never will be.

BTW, you do realize it's illegal to make false claims on student aid applications, i.e., a Fulbright Foundation Scholarship. It has now been established that Odumbo was willing to misrepresent his country of origin when it suited his purposes.

They bypass meaningful discussion, just like COG and Swallowing Seedman and instead of doing real research they just laugh and poke fun of anyone who disagrees with their hollow straw man arguments and laughable protestations.

Notice, they said not a word on why Romney and his legion of vulture capitalists "felt the need" to open Swiss bank accounts. I'm sure it was only because Romney liked the Matterhorn. There couldn't have been any tax advantage because the dimwits here said so. We even have one of them telling us to look out for the coming switch from a Republic to a Social State like she even understands the definition of either.

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.

THEY only squeal when someone qualifies for a social service they don't need.

Like I've always said, Ron Paul would leave too many bodies floating face down in the pool at the end of the day if he were elected lifeguard.

One of the things that keeps them this dumb is that they believe Fox "News".

Welcome to the Sandbox, 4Karlos! It almost like the Twilight Zone or Seinfeld's "Bizarro World (only much worse written).

There are people with some intelligence who post. They just don't post as much as COF and his militia of empty heads. You know, they are the people who believe the XL Pipeline will help lower gas prices here and who bash others who don't want a dirty, nasty, leaky pipeline that ships oil sand to Texas refineries so that it can be sold overseas with a not a drop being sold here. Yeah, that is a win/win for America - NOT!

Instead of trying to prove the oil sand pipeline will sell oil that will ease the U.S. gas shortage, they'll find some way to poke fun and utter meaningless chants they hear from Rush Bimbo, Sean Hannity or Fox "News" - OR their #1 source - some right wing blog written by an operative of the Cock Bros, Karl Rove or their father who helped found the John Birch Society. Hell, their father thought Republican President Eisenhower was a Commie (Kayla spells that "commy" in case she responds.).

Welcome, 4Karlos! We who can think, appreciate the fresh air.

WELL PUT AND THX TO YOU!!

Little Blind Boy's post was fallacious tripe. That you so willingly swallowed and endorsed his fallacious tripe reveals either your naivete or your ignorance -- indications are that it's probably the latter.

I'm not sure if that was Kool Aid.
