I am sure Buffet hopes Obama stays in power so he can continue to NOT PAY his taxes...lol.

You do understand that these investments are in a blind trust and that the Romney's have no say over where they are invested. It is up to the trustees to diversify the portfolio and put in profitable but also safe investments. It's only smart to invest that much money in several different countries and economies and banking systems. It would be entirely stupid to have it all tied up in one country and with the state of the banks in this country, who can blame them?

Nothing screams 'I hate America' more than a post from moveon.org.

Some of them are Blind Trusts, not the majority. Blind trusts are frequently used for legal tax avoidance.

Buffet's taxes paid by certain holdings are in dispute at the moment. Why make stuff up.
A NetJets Case, Warren Buffett and Taxes - NYTimes.com
Fact is, the tax rate is too low, and loopholes too many, for the idle wealthy like Romney, and Buffet says so - thus the right-wing hate.
As President, Romney would be a puppet of the 1%.
Who is making stuff up? And "you suspect" it maybe true, did you read your article? That is for 1 company "NetJet" for the ultra rich. $336,000,000 in taxes owed...

WOW, you are so out of it, that yo ucannot even see that buffet owes more taxes than Romney is even worth.

As the curent president, obama is a puppet....(GE ring a bell?)

It's a mistake to engage Romney campaign workers. They're incapable of discussing their boss in good faith.

If you could ever get a left winger to discuss issues like an adult, I'd be shocked.

Maybe you can point out why we should be upset over Romney having money overseas rather than just babbling attacks against people who dont see a problem with it.

you invest in the number one selling appliance company in america...that would be LG...a KOREAN company

who cares where his investments are...as liberals (fascists) keep saying...its a GLOBAL world
