57. I have lots of questions.

-Exactly how many years of tax returns did you ask from persons you considered for Vice President?
-Were you a participant in the IRS tax-evasion amnesty in 2009?
-Your IRA has at least 20 million. According to tax analysts you could have not contributed more than half a million. This would require a minimum return on investment of over 4000%. Did all investors Bain Capitol realize that kind of return?
- Speaking as a business and financial expert, what are some of the advantages of holding foreign bank accounts?
- When you were the chairman of the audit board at Marriott, the company engaged in certain tax-related practices known as 'Son of Boss', which resulted in Marriott paying the IRS over $70 million. Were you aware of that practice?
- During the Viet Nam war you were in Paris, working for the Mormon Church. Did you consider yourself a conscientious objector?
- At the end of your term as Governor of Massachusetts, your staff purchased the hard drives from their state-owned office computers and took them home. Is that a standard procedure in Massachusetts?
- Were you ever the CEO or chief operational manager of any company other than Bain?
- Bain held controlling interest in companies while also acting as that company's management consulting firm. In a case like that, who is responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of the consulting services performed?
- You have described you management style at Bain as 'dictatorial'. Can you describe how you would apply this style of management as President?
- What is the wind chill for a wet animal on top of a car moving at 60 MPH?
