Note: Title should read Mitten's Interview with Chris Wallace, not Mike Wallace
When Chris Wallace asked Mittens in his recent interview "At Home(s) with the Romney's" one of the things he asked Mitt was what will he tell the unemployed, those who are struggling and he answered (paraphrasing):
I will tell them that America is great, that I believe in America, American exceptionalism and that America will lead the world in prosperity! Not one detail or even answer to the question.
Here is the transcript from this portion of Mitt Romneys conversation with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday 8/26/2012:
Yeah, Mittens, and I was born yesterday too!

WALLACE: You have taken a lot of heat about tax returns. And I want to ask you one specific question about that.
Youve been running for president for almost eight years. And the question is, why didnt you, years ago, somewhere over the last eight years, go to the people running your blind trust and say to them, lets get out of the Swiss bank accounts, lets get out of the investments in the Cayman Islands, even if it means we have to maybe pay more taxes, so we can clear the decks politically?
ROMNEY: Well, first of all, there was no reduction, not one dollar of reduction in taxes, by virtue of having an account in Switzerland or a Cayman Islands investment. Those the dollars of taxes remained exactly the same. There was no tax savings at all.
And the conduct of the of the of the trustee in making investments was entirely consist with U.S. law and all the taxes paid were those legally owed and there was no tax savings by virtue of those entities.
Romney claims that he didnt receive some sort of preferential tax treatment by his investments being based in the Caymans. Thats a lie. As we have shared HERE- Victor Fleischer is a Professor of Law at the University of Colorado and he says, Bottom line: Mitt Romney has not paid all the taxes required under law. He goes on to explain how and why but why do deals in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland who are notorious for their secrecy; they are used by crime syndicates, international terrorist organizations and money launderers for that reason. But Romney swears on his heart that his taxes would have been the same regardless despite all of the evidence that says otherwise.
Yeah, Mittens, and I was born yesterday too!
