Default If Romney Pays all his Taxes Why Have a Swiss bank Account

Why have a phoney business set up in the caymans. Why so many offshore accounts if you have already paid your taxes. C'mon ya'll, don't be so partisan that ya go stupid.

Obama team targets Romney over taxes, Republicans cry foul

Quote:
Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs, on CNN's "State of the Union," called on Romney to release years of back tax records to allow scrutiny of his adherence to tax law. Asked whether Romney had broken the law, Gibbs said, "Well, we don't know."
So in other words, unlike Fast and Furious, this IS a witch hunt...They don't know what's going on, so "Guilty until proven innocent" is the campaign's (and Mikeyy's) play of the day...

There isn't one person attacking Romney on this saying anything concrete...they're only throwing out conspiracy theories for political points...

The weird (as in pathetic) thing is that the same people who are happy that elected presidents and presidentially appointed attorney generals are clamming up when it comes to the death of a border patrol guard in a federal taxpayer funded operation are now doing a 180 and demanding transparency of a private citizen...

But it's ok for you guys to go ape sh*t over Holder but I shouldn't ask why Romney has all these offshore undetectable accounts? You don't have a good answer so you pivot. I see that. Now how about you tell me why if he already payed taxes on the money why hide it in these types of accounts. As far as I know the only reason to have off shore businesses in Bermuda and the Caymans is to avoided taxes or hide income. Maybe you can spin me a reason? I'll wait while you look up a good reason. If you can. BTW why don't you care?

I'll try again...

Holder - presidentially appointed official in a federal position paid for with taxpayer funds

Romney - private citizen

And you didn't ask about Romney's offshore accounts...You ACCUSED...

Holder= Paid by tax payers

Romney= Wanting to be paid by tax payers.

Now we have that settled why does someone need to stockpile money off shore. Can you answer that?

A lot of reasons for a Cayman account. Joint ventures is one we did and set up there. They were based in London and like the US we would be taxed there before getting the money here and paying more taxes. They were in the same dilemma if based here. So neutral site zero tax places work best. You do the project and then only pay US taxes when the profits come here. Makes perfect business sense in some situations but means nothing as far as you should be concerned. You should worry more about why the US has made these situations desireable or even necessary. That's where the problem is.

If they were undetectable, we would not know about them nor be discussing them.

As long as the man is not breaking the law, this is a non-issue for me.

First you say it is nothing and than you say these situations are desreable and necessary. If he is playing his 15% tax why is this needed? Why have swiss bank accounts. Sounds like he has lots of them. Why transfer your Cayman company into your wifes name the day before you are made governor? You would think you would have other things to do that day? You guys develope far more conspirosy theories about Obama with less evidence than this.

[/QUOTE] Same holds with Holder I imagine. Do we even investigate or just take his word. You have no sospicion? If not that is more leeway than is given Obama.
