Mitt Romney investment in Ireland attacked by Barack Obama as a ‘tax haven’

I see it is slam Obama time! Ridicule and attack. No facts but lots of BS. A US citizens earnings are taxable regardless of where he obtains those earnings. That is one of the responsibilities of citizenship. Those tax rates are lower than they were with the Bush two-some.

Off-shore accounts to avoid paying US taxes is a distinct part of the tax avoidance strategy of those dedicated to the declaration of the famous Queen of Greed, Lenore Helmsley, that "only little people pay taxes'. This is what happened in Greece where the swells skipped out on their obligations, while the ordinary guy kept paying, but is now taking the brunt of the austerity program.

Obama has done a terrible job managing United States $$$$$$$$$$$$$. I think Romney will do a much better job and he can't do any worse than Obama. If I had a lot of money I would not want to keep it all in the same place and I would want to have it where I would get the best return for my buck. When Obama gets control of our money it is like throwing it into a big black hole never to be seen again.

well if he knows business why didn't he tell Americans that the country was going broke in 07 when he was running for pres. He is but a straw man he has no core

All American corporations and multinationals invest here because our corporate tax rate is so low. No other reason! The massive profits are shipped back to the US so they are all avoiding paying taxes!

Your boy from Moneygall,drinks his pint then disses Ireland as a tax haven-now you see exactly two faced he is!

Where Romney puts his money is the business of the citizens of the United States if he is POTUS. If just a private citizen, it dosen't. Most of the rebuttles here are straw man arguments. Speak to the subject not to something else.

Ohh you can bet he'd be fine with investing in africa though

Well said shop tom. Obama was not only a user of taxpayer money in public life but also in his private life

This illustrates perfectly how badly Obama understands economics. It also explains why Obama is more than willing to "invest" taxpayers' (not HIS) money in his cronies' money-sucking black holes (like Solyndra and others). Where Romney puts his money is HIS business. Where Obama puts the US taxpayers' money (literally trillions of dollars) is OUR business, and shows Obama's failure as a responsible president. But that' what you get when you elect a community organizer who sees success as a bad thing.

If you think you will hear anything even resembling the truth from the Obama campaign, you are sorely mistaken. He will say or do anything at all to keep his all-encompassing power as the first dictator of a formerly free republic.

Remember, you can always tell when obama is massaging the truth--his mouth moves.

Good point, mlppowner *thumbs up**

Maybe the problem is that the US corporate tax rate is too high. Didn't General Electric - an Obama patron - pay no US taxes last year? Yet they got 'green' initiative funding and the CEO was appointed by Pres. Obama to a leading role.
