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.
Let's try again - the issue is U.S. tax avoidance - not just where somebody's money is.

All of it is in a blind trust. A blind trust is set up to avoid a conflict of interest. Your wonderful Obamas have a blind trust. I guess they do that to avoid taxes also.

You still pay taxes on it. Where did you get the idea that you don't? It was reported on their TAX RETURNS! I guess if you put assets on your US TAX RETURN, you are not trying to avoid paying taxes...lol. You people crack me up...lol.

OK let's try again - the ISSUE at hand is TAX AVOIDANCE regardless of who does it or how it's done. AGAIN you act like there is no such thing as tax avoidance when history says otherwise.
Repubs want ZERO taxes on the wealthy - those who benefit most from using our infrastructure. Repubs say that they are the "job creators" and therefore the less they are taxed, the more jobs they create (the more trickle-down to the riffraff). So the lower classes should pay for everything. The lower classes are not "pulling their weight" - it's all over right-wing media. These are Romney's beliefs. ZERO taxes is what wealthy REPUBS want for themselves, and so we need to find out if a candidate for POTUS (or any other high-ranking position) is using UN-AMERICAN but possibly legal tax shelters. Your rightist media is all about being "good Americans" but some of us know how truly phony this Fox rhetoric is.

The money was reported on Romneys IRS returns, there is no avoidance. Just keeping money in other nations doesnt exempt you from paying taxes

Not the pattern with you.

NO ONE pays taxes on wealth, we pay tax on income, so claiming Republicans want zero taxes on the wealthy is dishonest, but a typical left wing bait and switch.

I think you are playing in the "kiddie pool". Maybe you need to be more concerned with where your tax dollars are going and how they are used.

Read my post. I am concerned how everybody's taxes are being used - not just mine. Too bad about that.
I'm not sure if you mean "quit worrying about what others pay".
I am concerned that the Romney Repub investor class wants a free ride even though they benefit from using the country's infrastructure. Jeez, maybe a few would actually have to get a job. I can understand the fear since they are the champions of outsourcing.
