Daily Kos: Did Romney Receive ‘Amnesty’ From Federal Tax Evasion?

[Samantha]

20. I asked that question here back in July

Here are two paragraphs from my thread on the 15th:

"It could possibly happen if that candidate declared to the IRS he or she made a nominal amount of income for a person in the wealthiest one-percent of Americans. That amount might be possibly $100,000. The balance of funds this individual realized during the current calendar tax year is in the millions of dollars. When added to the previous eight tax years, the total is a gazillion million dollars. In each of those tax years, the untaxed portion was investment income. The investment profit was sheltered using the carried-over interest provision in the tax code. There are clues which suggest this is a pattern of conduct habitually practiced.

It has been publicly reported that a number of extremely well-to-do individuals have millions of dollars in off-shore tax shelters, such as the Cayman Islands, Swiss banks, perhaps even Bermuda. These individuals have proposed bringing the millions home if the U.S. Government will agree to tax the monies at a rate not to exceed five percent."

The group that wants to bring the money "home" will only do so if the U.S. Government does not tax it at a rate higher than 5 percent -- can you believe that?
