Why doesn't Romney believe in America?

Isn't it hypocritical to say one believes in America while depositing his money in the Cayman Islands to avoid paying taxes?

    He's not alone.

    Just last year, almost 1800 Americans gave up their citizenship in order to avoid paying taxes.

    The Romney family was a pioneer for the nouveau rich class which sees itself as citizens of the world. The type who collect multiple citizenships, so they can leave a given country at anytime. They owe no loyalty to any one country.

    When convenient, the Romney family moved to Mexico, then back to the US. Next up the cayman islands.

    It's about money, not about patriotism to such people.

    Is that any more hypocritical than GE the company run buy Jeffery Imelt O'Bama's Job/Manufacturing Czar sending 30,000 jobs to China last year?!

    Or is it more hypocritical than O'Bama adding $5 trillion to the debt in 3 years after calling Bush unpatriotic and irresponsible for adding adding $4 trillion to the debt in 8 years?!

    Yet another "Sterling example" of a leftist who thinks (s)he has a RIGHT to tell others how they can spend their money! Wonder what you would say if Mitt told YOU what you can and can't spend YOUR money on!

  • Romney believes you have money he can get, lol.
