ROMNEY's Offshore Accounts-Takes Advantage of Tax Loopholes To Pay LOWER TAXES Than Middle-Class
Romney’s offshore accounts draw scrutiny
With Mitt Romney still refusing to release his tax returns, we can only speculate as to why he’s so afraid of disclosure. The widely held assumption has been that the Republican frontrunner is embarrassed by his “15% problem” — the multi-millionaire takes advantage of existing tax loopholes to pay lower tax rates than millions of middle-class workers.

His tax returns could shed light on how Romney and Bain use offshore strategies to avoid taxes, said Daniel Berman, a former U.S. Treasury deputy international tax counsel and now director of tax at Boston University’s graduate tax program.
Bain funds in which Romney is invested are scattered from Delaware to the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, Ireland and Hong Kong, according to a Reuters analysis of securities filings.

"A lot of seniors have 401k accounts, so if you raised the 15% tax rate on those earnings, it would really hurt our seniors." And of course, someone piped up about the 'job creators.' 
Unbelievable, the lengths they will go to justifiy the investor class paying less in taxes than the working class.
