4. I doubt Romney got tax amnesty

I used to work in the tax dept of one of the giant acctg firms, tho not the one Romney uses. We had clients like Romney. And I doubt Romney had illegal Swiss accounts. We had a hundred ways to reduce taxes using the laws of many nations to game the system without resorting to obviously illegal methods. A guy like Romney can play the tax treaties like a fiddle with no need to take the huge risk of facing a jail term. Romney didn't use illegally hidden Swiss accounts. It didn't happen. The LEGAL methods he used stink to high heaven - but they are so effective only a total moron would use ILLEGAL as opposed to legal foreign holdings.
