Oh Mitt ... What's The Truth?

No, Romney Didn’t Leave Bain in 1999


So... this is what passes for business sense these days?

Publicly lying about your sworn declarations to the SEC?


The gist of the disagreement comes down to this: There’s no question that numerous public filings and some contemporaneous press references say Romney was still running things at Bain after 1999. But his campaign insists that whatever securities filings may have said, in practice, he was so busy running the 2002 Winter Olympics that he actually had no role at Bain after early 1999. That’s possible in theory. But there’s no evidence for it besides self-interested claims by Romney. And there’s plenty of documentary evidence to the contrary. After all, what you tell the SEC is really supposed to be true.

So ... who you going to believe ... ?

Mitt Romney or Mitt Romney ?

“What’s important is if you are running for president is that the American people know who you are and what you’ve done and that you’re an open book,” Obama told a New Hampshire television station. “And that’s been true of every presidential candidate dating all the way back to Mitt Romney’s father.”


The late George Romney, former governor of Michigan, released a dozen years of tax returns ahead of his own presidential campaign, saying he wanted to dispel any doubts that he filed his taxes any differently in the year or two before his run.

Lindsey Graham: 'It's Really American' To Avoid Taxes Like Mitt Romney Does


Mitt Romney shouldn't be criticized for using off-shore tax havens because "it's really American to avoid paying taxes, legally," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Tuesday.

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee has come under fire for stashing assets overseas in places like Bermuda and Switzerland.

Graham argued that Congress is responsible for tax avoidance because it has crafted such convoluted rules and said he was fine with Romney's taking advantage of the loopholes.

...........................

"It's a game we play," Graham said. "Every American tries to find the way to get the most deductions they can. I see nothing wrong with playing the game because we set it up to be a game."

PEOPLE WHO ARE QUESTIONING MITT’S TAX RETURNS ARE ‘SUPPORTING SOCIALISM’ | During an appearance on MSNBC Wednesday morning, Carlos Gutierrez, a Romney senior adviser and Honorary Co-Chair of his National Hispanic Steering Committee, said that questioning the GOP presidential candidate’s reluctance to turn over his tax returns and come clean about his investments in foreign countries amounts to “socialism.” Responding to a segment during which Democratic strategist Karen Finney raised concerns about some of Romney’s offshore accounts, Gutierrez said, “if you are attacking capitalism, then I suppose that we are supporting socialism.”

My concern is about the economy not about what Romney does with his money. He can wipe his rear with his money if he wants, I just want him to shore-up ours! Obama can't figure out how, but then Progressives think the government can do everything.
