Off-shore bank accounts in the Cayman Islands & Switzerland + hidden tax returns

[TeamPooka]

should be the main talking points of the final week IMHO.
The average Joe just doesn't like banking like a Bond villain.
GOTV!
Final days!
GOTV!

2. Jeopardizing the value of American auto stocks

by lying about those companies. That is why the CEOs spoke out. Their companies are publicly traded and they have to protect their stock value. Romney could care less about those companies, workers, or the American economy.

Arguing that funding for FEMA is immoral, on one hand, and saying it should be privatized on the other. The only "privatization" of FEMA would be through contracts paid by the federal government a la Halliburton, which would only cost tax payers more.

Being a lying SOB generally.

I think the tax issue has run its course. Robme has given the public new causes for concern.

3. off shore accounts have not run their course though

4. As long as off-shore bank holders pay all taxes due

to the IRS and other relevant jurisdictions, I don't personally have any problem with them. It's when people use them for tax evasion that I get angry.

I'd like to see Romney's tax returns to confirm his claims that he always paid all taxes due.

5. You don't have a problem - but you don't have proof either.

there's always a catch

6. I don't understand your point. Maybe I was unclear.

I'm saying this: I don't have a problem with offshore banking. Indeed, I have an offshore account now, and have had them in the past. They have always been very, very small (three digits), unlike most of those who were caught in the Swiss banking scandal, an integral part of which was that some Americans were using such accounts to evade taxes.
