I know many of you are fans of Mitt's off shore holdings and of Mother Jones but is this the man any of you really want to be in charge of the country? The man is a cheat and the system provides him a easy way to do it.

Take a few mins and read....


Link http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/09/mitt-romney-offshore-investments-cayman-islands

Quote
Offshore tax havens are better known for facilitating money laundering and tax evasion than legitimate business.



Quote
The total value of Romney's offshore investments is unknown, but his tax returns have revealed that he has at least $30 million invested in the Cayman Islands, in at least 12 different Bain Capital funds.



Tough to pay taxes and support the country that gave him his breaks when he hits his money...But it is all legal! Our system is broken when it provides for this type of shady system!


Quote
"The Cayman Islands jurisdiction for the Bain funds primarily makes it easy for their investors to cheat on their taxes," says Rebecca Wilkins, the senior counsel for federal tax policy at the nonprofit Citizens for Tax Justice. "Because of that they can attract more investors and they can earn bigger management fees. "

Because of the secrecy laws in the Caymans and other offshore tax havens, Bain investors are hidden from tax authorities like the IRS. Unless they choose to report their holdings and income, as Romney has, there is no way for tax officials in the US or other countries to know that such holdings exist, much less find a way to tax them.



Perfect!

Who the [bleep] cares? You would have to be a [bleep] idiot to even consider not voting against Obama.

One of whom?

A vote for either Obama or Romney is a vote for the destruction of what little freedom we have remaining.

I don't waste my time on lost causes, except TRH, 'cause he's like kicking a cat. It doesn't do any good, but it's still fun.

So I can assume that you to are a mindless drone who is following the pack of Lemmings over the cliff. You have no reason other than "One of them"?

Very sad but understandable!

I know you think that [bleep] is cute, but it's not. You, and yours, are the only hope that Obama has.

You can give credit to Obama for allowing women in the rangers now.

http://sofrep.com/7125/chicks-go-to-ranger-school/


It was clear that nobody�s opinion was being solicited. The message came from the Chief of Staff of the Army, and the order seems to have come from echelons above him: Ranger School will admit women within a few months. And the women willpass, whatever it takes.

Female officers have complained that the lack of the school credential disadvantages them for promotions and commands, and in an election year their complaints have found champions among the political appointees in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. In a Department whose highest priority is the Secretary�s million-dollar Gulfstream commute, and that has lost interest in two ongoing wars and a dozen other flashpoints where soldiers risk their lives daily, a stroke of a pen can upend a 60-year-old course that embodies a tradition with roots in the 18th Century.

And it just did.

The Ranger Training Brigade has been told to roll the welcome mat and the first class could be 03/13 but will definitely be 05/13 at the latest. Each class in the remainder of FY 13 will receive five to eight women, and the treatment, mentoring, nurturing and ultimate success of those female candidates will be intensively managed by the Chief of Staff and the Sergeant Major of the Army, not to mention civilian appointees. The male candidates in the same courses are not of interest to the command, as long as they don�t interfere with or criticize the women. Even the timing of the feminized classes was established for political reasons: to ensure that a fait accompli of female Ranger attendees, if not graduates is presented to the incoming SecDef and Secretary of the Army if, as the current leaders think likely, their patron is defeated in November. They did not want to put women in class 1/13, which starts in October, to prevent Congress from intervening before the elections, but 2/13 is an outside possibility.

Current Ranger graduates, Ranger veterans, and the Ranger units and Ranger training establishment were never consulted about the decision. Officers who argued against it in Pentagon meetings have already been dismissed or shunted into career-ending punishment assignments.

The RTB has not been directed that all female candidates must pass regardless of performance, and Ranger Instructors will retain a limited ability to dismiss an individual underperforming woman from the course, as long as �enough� women remain to please the higher-ups. But they will have to justify every dismissal to the highest levels of command, who have made their intention clear. Regardless of performance, the majority of women attendees must pass � at least as high a graduating percentage as the men in the same class. For the first time in Ranger history, graduation will be guaranteed � for some.

You know if you though about it for just a few minutes you would come to realize that the tax shelter system and the Rich Guys who abuse it cost the country much more than the welfare cheaters. The welfare bunch cheat a few thousands of $ over the course of a year but the Mitt's of the world are stealing billions and they call themselves the "Job Creators" Bull $hit!

Same, same public schools. If the slow ones can't keep up, dumb down the smart ones. Rush talked about this liberal look at life today and how they hate it when it comes to Referees in the NFL. grin miles

The real problem with Romney's offshore account is that they are his and not yours.

Too bad the resident of the whitehouse didn't conduct his mis-administration as transparently as you post.


We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.
