Its not because he did any thingh illegal - it is the fact that "It is PERFECTLY LEGAL" for corporations to HIDE BILLIONS of DOLLAR$ Offshore just as Romney did when he "Incorporated Himself"
and they all do it - UNTAXED
The average working stiff can not even take his money with him to Costa Rica to retire without paying Capitol Gains tax on it

What they don't want us to know IS that it is ALL perfectly legal because the 1% made sure of that it is.

(285 posts)The president has done an excellent job of conveying how unqualified Romney is to hold the office. But if it can be shown Romney is a felon, that would cement the deal.

(1,191 posts)money if you don't have to. What we need to do is change the laws so this kind of thing is illegal. If your rich, and you have tax lawyers telling you to do this or do that to save money, then that's what you will do. anyone would. Romney just doesn't want to give the democrats something to attack him with.
It would be a great ad though, "Romney made $100 million dollars and payed 4% in taxes"
than would work for us!!

...if it's legal, then he would be "kinda dumb" for hiding it and giving everyone the impression that he's a tax cheat.
He'd be a complete moron for suggesting that the returns contain something politically "damaging."
Illegal, unethical, embarrassing, at this point Mitt has completely mishandled the situation. What is he hiding?

I guess that might obscure the Bain investment in Leinenkugel.
And what ever you do, don't ask Mitt about his interest in Las Vegas casinos. Just don't.
