I thought we conservatives were capitalists? And stood for moral values?
You can dislike Romney for a lot of reasons, but lets not throw our capitalism away with the bath water.

I didn’t put down Captitalism in any way. In fact, a much as I despise Mitt, I was sort of defending him. I doubt he committed tax evasion, and I assume whatever tax avoidance schemes he might be using the Caymans for is probably legal.
However, the statement that he would have paid the same tax rate, with or without the Cayman Islands accounts sound like bull. It really doesn’t make sense to put funds in such accounts, unless you are trying to avoid taxes or hid illicit funds.
There is nothing wrong with legally avoiding taxes, but if it is disovered that Mitt put millions offshore so he could pay “15%” on his millions, it will LOOK bad politically.
At any rate, my problem with Mitt is not any offshore tax shelters, but the fact that he is a pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-illegal, pro-socialized medicine, huge government Socialist, who pretended to change his positions on these issues (except socialized Medicine, he still defends Obamacar....I mean RomneyCare), just in time for the 2008 GOP primary season.
