The last thing Romney and his accountants would do is anything close to tax evasion while running for president. The most likely reason he had money in the Cayman Islands is to protect it from possible lawsuits. He is paying taxes on the money as he withdraws it similar to retirement accounts.
Yep. It is something that vast numbers of wealthy people do... it is called 'tax efficient' not 'tax evasion'.... but clearly that basic principle is above the intellectual pay grade of many.
So 'social conservatives' are actually just a bunch of hypocrites.... vote for a man who was convicted of ethics violations and a serial adulterer. Social conservatives are an odd bunch.
And everyone in this nation is "tax efficient" when it comes to the taxes they owe, regardless of the bracket they are in. No one gladly pays more than they have to.
Gingrich was found guilty of one of 84 accusations of ethics violations. That had to do with the use of his office when teaching a class. That is my understanding. Sounds like the fishing expedition was hardly successful as it was intended. It's all about ABO.
Gingrich is everything I despise about politicians. Ain't voting for that dirt bag.
Nationally, all the evidence supports Romney as the one that can take down Obama. If the GOP want to actually win.... then it's Romney. I happen to agree with the reasoning that influences independents.... his experience beats anyone else in the race where it matters - jobs and economics.
