10. Hmmm, then why did over 14,000 wealthy Americans run to the IRS amnesty program?

"The disclosure of Swiss banking information — which caused a fierce political debate in Switzerland before winning approval from the country’s Parliament — set off such a panic among wealthy Americans that more than 14,000 of them joined a tax amnesty program. I.R.S. officials say the amnesty program has helped recover more than $5 billion in unpaid taxes."

You have NO idea whether he was one of the "more than 14,000" or not. Romney, given his allegiance to no one but himself and his accumulation of wealth, would be exactly the kind of person who would use BOTH the legal AND illegal methods to grow his wealth, imo.
