Seriously, this guy needs to come clean and release a lot more information about his financial dealings and taxes. Multiple offshore accounts, impossibly large IRAs, disappearing assets.... If Obama's finances looked like this the right wing conspiracy machine would be spinning out of control:

Investigation: Mitt Romney

Maybe you should put some ice on your sides and actually read the article -- or at least learn something about the author of the article?

Nicholas Shaxson (*1966) is a British author, journalist, and an Associate Fellow of Chatham House (the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London). He is best known for his investigative books Poisoned Wells (2007) and Treasure Islands (2011). He is a full-time writer and researcher for the Tax Justice Network, an expert-led group focused on the harmful impacts of tax avoidance, tax competition and tax havens.[1][2]

Re: Romney's finances beyond murky

First of all, you should know that asking questions about a Presidential candidate's past is racist.

But seriously. Seriously? It took two years just to get Obama to prove he is an American FFS.

Don't get me wrong, if Romney broke any laws then yes, the American people should know about it. I didn't read the Forbes hit piece, but does it suggest that Romney did anything criminal? I mean, other than making money (which is considered a HUGE crime to the Obamunists)?

Perhaps Romney could and should be more forthcoming in regards to his business dealings, just as Obama should be more forthcoming in regards to his Chicago real estate dealings with shady criminals (actual criminals, not simple capitalists). I would also like to see Obama's college transcripts, applications, and passport data. Also his selective service information and an investigation into why he has a social security number from a state in which he has never resided. Maybe Obama could also be a bit more forthcoming in regards to his allegiance to terrorists, communists, and other assorted anti-American radical nutjobs while we're at it.

Oh wait, asking those questions is RACIST. Sorry. My bad.

I don't know what the textbook definition of head-shaking hypocrisy is, but I know it when I see it.

Listen, no need to apologize, asking those questions aren't racist, and if you think that liberals really think that way, then you're sorely misguided. Please back your claims that Obama associates with terrorists, communists, and other assorted anti-American radical nutjobs.

"Lost Year"?

I've always heard that's the year that he met up with a crazy scientist and through the use of a DeLorean transformed into a time machine went back and time and planted his birth certificate in the Hawaii records office, and hung out with his dad in their fight to insitutute a socialist anti-white African state.

Yeah the left wing is now saying Romney has secret accounts, except they are not secret, because if they were they would not know about them. Get hard evidence of any criminal act and then lets talk.

What's really important is that now the majority of the people see the country is worse under Obama.

read what site? I'm informed, and you're spewing opinions without evidence. If anyone is uninformed here, it's you.
 
Re: Romney's finances beyond murky

What's interesting to me here is the dodging, most specifically:

Romney broke any laws then yes, the American people should know about it.

Or, demands that criminal activity be proven. This provides the false idea that something can't be wrong if it's "legal."

The other interesting thing is the knee-jerk employment of the tu quoque fallacy: when confronted with questionable acts by Romney, many simply reply by citing questionable acts by Obama--i.e., "he does it too," aka tu quoque.

I think the most troubling thing about Mitt, mentioned in the article but noted before, is that for all that wealth he pays a tax rate ridiculously lower than average Americans due to things like the "carried interest" loophole. Which, BTW, is legal. So I guess that makes it right, right?

Isn't there already a thread here on this? Do we need another one?

Anyway, as I asked in the other thread: Did Romney do anything illegal?

If not, then who cares?

It's funny, because you probably lead the exact same lifestyle you led in 2007.

Unlike you, the character and morality of a president have a lot to do with my decision, that's why I care.

We know that the accounts exist and that's about it. What we don't know is what's in them, how they came to exist, and what their purpose is. I'll say again that if Obama had multiple offshore accounts in the Caymans, Switzerland, and other notorious tax avoidance centers, the right wing conspiracy theorists would be going ape****.
 
Re: Romney's finances beyond murky

Alas, you are not going to even get right wingers to challenge this story since it is part of the Horatio Alger myth combined with modern tax avoidance.

And Mitt is not going to come clean on his IRA account:

And then there’s his Individual Retirement Account. I.R.A.’s are supposed to be a tax-advantaged vehicle for middle-class savers, with annual contributions limited to a few thousand dollars a year. Yet somehow Mr. Romney ended up with an account worth between $20 million and $101 million.

I'm too young to vote. I was speaking of my decision on who to support for presidency. Give me some credit, I don't choose a candidate solely based on their character, but I do factor it in.

Run along and get some facts instead of posting hearsay. Don't come back until you have some evidence.

You already have, now you have new info on your idol....and you avoid it.

Romney's isn't campaign contributions, these are profits hidden from US taxation.

PS....The billionaires contributing to Romney are much more numerous, if such a subject bothers you.
