Mitt Romney Tax Returns Reveal Investments In Chinese Oil, Stem Cell Research, Plan B

I can't believe the OP has only been here a month and has almost 800 post.
and they say they don't live here

Here, look at it another way. Bain didn't "create businesses". They took over existing businesses and set them up so they could be "harvested" (Mitt's words, not mine).

Sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes that meant screwing people over for a big payday. Mitt is a savvy businessman, maybe not ethical, but savvy for sure. Does anything really think he would put himself in the SAME position that he put countless others???? Seriously???? Of course he is directing his own money. No matter what it's called. You can bet he doesn't trust someone else to do it for him. That's why he's so secretive.

Somehow, people think because it's called "blind trust", these multi millionaires don't know where their money is being "invested". Would any of you turn over millions to a stranger and have zero input on how it's invested? Seriously?

It's like saying "evolution" is "just a theory". But "theory" and "scientific theory" are as different as "plane and plain" or "meat and meet".

well when you have one you can tell us how it works, because it REALLY really is all of our business

You people are pathetic

Show me his tax returns and I'll tell you how it works. IC.

WTF does it matter?? IT'S MITT ROMNEYS MONEY.. PERIOD.. End of fucking story..

Damn, Let's stop feeding the ZOMBIE TROLL squad... they want this fucking argument because it's all BULLSHIT and takes us away from what is important.. THE TRUTH.. I'd love to see all conservatives STOP enabling these Propagandists and go on fucking offensive ONLY.. Barack Hussein Obama has to answer.. FOR nearly 4 fucking years of FAILURE, broken promises.. and a National Security policy that has for the first time in YEARS, allowed an attack by our enemy to cost us dearly.

We give trillions to the government every year and get screwed royally with more worthless programs that do nothing.

Blind trusts are generally used when a trustor wishes to keep the beneficiary unaware of the specific assets in the trust, such as to avoid conflict of interest between the beneficiary and the investments.

<yawn!>

oops!
Can you say hypocrite much? This man invests in things he says he opposes and that we know most of his supporters and republicans in general oppose! As i've suspected all along, he is only running for president for the power and prestige, not on principles! Now we know why he was resistent to releasing his returns.

The article lists 10 things he invested in that might be questionable based on his so-called beliefs and those of republicans.

mitt romney tax returns reveal investments in chinese oil, stem cell research, plan b

on aug. 10, 2011, the night before mitt romney participated in a republican primary debate in iowa, the republican nominee took an extraordinary step: He unloaded a boatload of stocks that may have been problematic in his run for the oval office.

Some of those investments included securities from companies with ties to iran to investments in the state-owned chinese oil company, cnooc. The sale of these investments was confirmed in romney's 2011 tax returns, which the candidate released to the public on september 21. Also enclosed in his 2011 tax return were the addresses of his cayman islands interests and the performance of his goldman sachs funds.

Many of these investments were made through the romney family trust, a blind trust run by a trustee. Romney has claimed he didn't know what investments were inside the trust.

Wow. It took a long while for the whiners to find something in Romney's tax returns to get their knickers in a wad over.

Hey... If all the presidential candidates would do it for as many years as what I would be willing to do... I would do that in a heartbeat.

I mean I wouldn't do it just to do it... More harm than good would come from it. But if I got something else out of it from the people who might be representing me... I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Do you understand what a "blind trust" means?

That's either a rhetorical question, or you don't know CourseofTherapy very well.

L to tha mutha-fuckin' ULZ !!!!

 

[courseofhistory]

Here's the deal, republican trolls, blind trust or no blind trust, Romney could instruct his trustee to not invest in certain things. He also shouldn't have a blind trust if he needs it to run for president. He ultimately is repsonsible for his investments and there are ways to prevent being hypocritical about them. Cracking down on China as he says he will do and investing there? Hmmm....kind of disgusting? Being against stem cell research and investing in that? Same thing!

 

[Cecilie1200]

can't someone stipulate that their blind trust not invest in iran or chinese investments or anything to do w/ abortion? Those are no-brainers.

Since you were obviously never informed that the Internet works for things other than porn, I was kind enough to look up the answer to your "question" which you mistakenly thought was going to BE the answer simply by being asked.

A blind trust is a trust in which the fiduciaries, namely the trustees or those who have been given power of attorney, have full discretion over the assets, and the trust beneficiaries have no knowledge of the holdings of the trust and no right to intervene in their handling.

Blind trust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(I used Wikipedia because I know how illiterate, blind-drunk liberals love them.)

In short, the only "no-brainer" here is YOU, shitstain. Congratulations on your wildly successful self-humiliation.

No, it's a reality of finance, public service, and actual law. Blind trusts are just that.

The very definition of removing "conflict of interest" is a blind trust. Obama has one too.

Idiot.
