The problem w/ Romney's offshore tax havens is I want a president to have some damn skin in the game

If he's off-shoring his money it may be a perfectly legal tax loophole but if he's pitching himself as a guy who can fix the economy he'd better have both feet planted firmly in the same economy I'm in. We're not abstract concepts and our lives are not a textbook exercise or a computer simulation.
