(54,370 posts)EVERY U.S. citizen with a foreign bank account has to file a declaration for each account with the maximum balance it had in it over the past calendar year. In fact, they have to file a report even if it wasn't even their own account. If you had signature authority over a bank account in a foreign country, you have to file and declare that, too.
Therefore, Romney had to sign a declaration for each foreign account he owns. Even if he has them under another name, he has to file if he has signature authority over any such account.
If Romney wants the country to believe he signs declarations as important as this without even looking at what they are, what would he do as president? Sign a declaration of war against Iran without looking at it because some Cheney-clone told him to?
No wonder then need a billion dollars to sell this guy. It's like trying to sell e-coli bacteria to a hamburger stand.
