Yes, I will admit .....

... that the financially unsophisticated will not be thrilled. Others will realize that hedging the dollar against the Euro is not a bad idea for any intelligent investor. But I guess there are not many of those types around these parts, and those that are have probably learned to keep quiet.

...road to corporate greed is paved with "intelligent investors." Fine, but stay the hell out of the Presidency.

I keep hearing about tax evasion. Isn't the IRS supposed to be on top of that? Shouldn't we expect that if the Mittster's returns showed any type of tax evasion that the IRS would prosecute? Or do you think that President Obama's administration is in the tank for Rmoney?

Are you defending "intelligent investors" or making excuses for tax evasion? I mean, are you equating Mitt's actions, which appear to be dubious and possibly illegal according to numerous tax experts (including prominent Republicans), with those of "intelligent investiors"? The IRS offered amnesty. That's not a program to celebrate the clever investor.
