5 Things You Should Know About Mitt Romney's Taxes
If this is what we know already, voters deserve to see the rest.
Add your name to call on Mitt to come clean and release his tax returns.

- Mitt's got millions invested in the Cayman Islands
"Although it is not apparent on his financial disclosure form, Mitt Romney has millions of dollars of his personal wealth in investment funds set up in the Cayman Islands, a notorious Caribbean tax haven." – ABC News - Mitt pays a tax rate lower than most middle-class Americans
Even though Mitt's worth as much as $250 million, "Republican candidate Mitt Romney believes his effective tax rate—the share of his income he pays in federal taxes—is around 15%, or, as he put it, "probably closer to the 15 percent rate than anything..." – Christian Science Monitor - Under Mitt's own tax plan, he'd pay half of what he'd pay otherwise
"Under his plan, Romney in 2013 would see his taxes cut by nearly half of what they would be if you use current law as a baseline." – Washington Post - Mitt jokes he's "unemployed," but he's still making millions a year off investments
"In what would be the final deal of his private equity career, he negotiated a retirement agreement with his former partners that has paid him a share of Bain's profits ever since, bringing the Romney family millions of dollars in income each year and bolstering the fortune that has helped finance Mr. Romney's political aspirations." – New York Times - Mitt made over $300,000 in speaking fees last year—but called it "not that much"
"He also said he had earned 'a little bit of income' from his book, which he donated to charity, and 'speakers' fees from time to time, but not very much.' Romney earned almost $375,000 in speaking fees from Feb. 26, 2010, to Feb. 20, 2011, according to his personal financial disclosure." – Bloomberg

When Romney Ran Bain Capital, His Word Was Not His Bond
(Full 27 minute video http://www.kingofbain.com/ )
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/when-romney-ran-bain-capital-his-word-was-not-his-bond/2012/01/12/gIQACvQxwP_story.html
"Yet, there is another version of the Bain way that I experienced personally during my 17 years as a deal-adviser on Wall Street: Seemingly alone among private-equity firms, Romney’s Bain Capital was a master at bait-and-switching Wall Street bankers to get its hands on the companies that provided the raw material for its financial alchemy. Other private-equity firms I worked with extensively over the years — Forstmann Little, KKR, TPG and the Carlyle Group, among them — never dared attempt the audacious strategy that Bain partners employed with great alacrity and little shame. Call it the real Bain way."

Romney.........A Corporate Raider and Liar
"
Mitt Romney will undoubtedly emerge the winner from New Hampshire. He’s also likely to emerge as a job-killing corporate raider. Republicans are portraying Mitt Romney as a soulless, greedy capitalist. That’s right—Republicans are portraying Mitt Romney as a Republican... to convince Republicans that he’s not right for the Republican Party. Not that any of them would have done anything differently from the way Mitt did it. Mitt just had the opportunity to do it better. And they can’t even complain that Mitt had an unfair advantage. The reason Mitt had the opportunity to do it better was because he was born into wealth and privilege... and that is also pure Republican! I just love seeing Republicans debating business ethics. Up until now, the only debate among Republicans about business ethics was about the best way to eliminate them. "
"Mitt likes to say that he created a net of 100,000 in his work in the private sector. He must be counting all the illegal immigrant landscapers that he hired using the money he made from laying off American workers. Mitt’s claims about creating 100,000 jobs are “unproven,” which is another term for “ made up out of thin air.” Hey Mitt, why don’t you claim credit for something you really did, Mitt... like Romneycare? "...........Thank you Randi Rhodes!!
