Switzerland hit back Tuesday at a US presidential election campaign video that portrays the country as a tax haven.

In the video, a character named Miss Swiss Bank Account describes the Republican candidate Mitt Romney as a "boss millionaire with accounts everywhere", the ATS news agency reported.

The film gives "the impression that having a bank account in Switzerland is dubious in itself and its only aim is to hide money from the tax authorities," Switzerland's Federal Department for Foreign Affairs (DFAE) said.

Switzerland's Washington embassy reportedly expressed its unhappiness at the clip to the Obama team, ATS said.

Do we really need to list the Dems who are on record having those eeeeevil Swiss bank accounts? Didn’t the Klinton campaign filter foreign donations through a Swiss bank account as part of the RICO scheme to avoid being caught (a la the Fred Thompson failed hearings)?
