OUCH! THAT'S gonna leave a mark: "Harry Reid: The 47% Aren't 'Using Cayman Islands Tax Shelters'..."
Harry Reid: The 47 Percent Aren't 'Using Cayman Islands Tax Shelters'
http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/harry-reid-47-percent-arent-using-cayman-isl
Reid continued: "For all we know Mitt Romney could be one of those who have paid no federal income tax. Thousands of families making more than a million dollars per year pay nothing in federal income tax. Is Mitt Romney among those? We'll never know because he refuses to release his tax returns."
"We know that Mitt Romney pays a lower tax rate than middle-class families, thanks to a number of things he's done: Swiss bank accounts, Cayman Islands tax shelters. And we can only imagine what new secrets would be revealed if he showed the American people a dozen years of tax returns like his dad did."
Reid pointed out that most of "those people" who Romney talked about "are not avoiding their tax bills using Cayman Islands tax shelters or Swiss Bank accounts like Mitt Romney. Millions of the 47 percent are seniors on Social Security, who don't have Bain Capital retirement funds or inherited stock to fall back on."
"This rare look at the real Mitt Romney, this rare look from a man who was a fundraiser for him, proves one thing: He's completely out of touch with average Americans," the Nevada Democrat concluded. "And if he won't stand up and fight for every American as president the he doesn't deserve to serve any American as president."
