Just because Romney was guilty of having off-shore accounts does not mean the same standard should be applied to John Kerry for his nomination as Secretary of State. He also has off-shore accounts holding his money. It is different. And it has been at least a few years since he violated the law by saying his $40 million boat was docked out of Massachusetts (in R.I.) to avoid paying taxes. And there is nothing wrong with him having his boat built in New Zealand to avoid paying the price of having it built in the U.S., and subjecting himself to the U.S. job-market costs. You agree, Or do you?
Why would n't they be judged under the same standard? and how is it different that both have off shore accounts to avoid taxes? Unless you lean left and are trying to give Kerry a free pass I do not see any logic in your argument. Is that the case? At least Romney {who I can not stand} is for lower taxes where Kerry is for raising them. Who's the bigger hypocrite?

"Offshore" accounts are not illegal for Romney or for Kerry. The U.S. government through tax law makes it necessary (and it is wise money management) for individuals to find ways to avoid paying any more tax than they have to. This is not trickery or evasiveness; it is just good sense.
It also makes sense to have a boat built where it is least costly. These are personal choices that are based on economics. Everyone should become wise in the way they handle their money.
What do you say---for someone in the US Congress who is fighting for more jobs in the U.S., it is okay to have your personal boat built in New Zealand to avoid the U.S. labor market. Is this not a double standard, or what the real attitude is.

Since Kerry's finances bother you to the core of your being, do everything in your power to block his nomination.
Even better, move to Massachussetts and run against him for his senate seat. Make this the conrnerstone of your campaign.

But I am guess you were fine with Romney's off shore accounts which is why you voted for him but not Kerry's?
Hmmmm because Kerry is a Democrat duh. He can do as he pleases and not suffer any backlash for it. Duh!
This thread = backlash
Your post = backlash
