It was under party pressure that Romney even released his 2010 returns. He didn't mention the Swiss account or his other funds in foreign countries. He then had to make an amendment to his return filing an extension.

That is what got the ball rolling and it's his own fault. He was looking sneaky by moving his Swiss account into his wife's name before he ran for Governor placing it into a blind trust.

He has 6 Cayman accounts that are worth $7 and 32 million which are run by Bain. He closed the Swiss account before running for President. His Bermuda tax havens are in jurisdictions where there is virtually no tax or compliance. So, we don't really know what he's got or what he is worth.

Earlier this summer he reported receiving new income ($2M) from Bain. Bain has 138 funds set up in the Cayman Islands. He has interests in at least twelve, claiming he doesn't save on not paying taxes. But we don't really know or have any way to find out because, it's all hidden behind confidentiality disclaimers.

It just looks like something the American people need to know about their presumptive leader, IMO.

So what?

He has money, good for him.

You act as if these things you are saying make him a bad person.

No Sir, that is not my angle. I want transparency with a nominee if he has money in foreign tax havens. I want to know how much he is worth and why he stutters when the issue is brought up.

He isn't required to disclose, but there has been a long standing precedent to do it.

And that is your right. It bothers me. And it bothers me that only the wealthy are given the chance to run for high office. There are other very loyal and qualified people who don't stand a chance.
