3. Offshore Tax Haven
Tue Jul 10, 2012, 06:41 PM
Jul 2012

I have a question based on an article in the Los Angeles Times dated December 19th 2007. “Romney utilized offshore tax havens to help investors”.

It was reported that “While in private business, Mitt Romney used shell companies in two offshore tax havens to help eligible investors avoid paying US taxes, federal and state records show.”

Could it be possible some of Mitt Romney’s biggest donors might be some of those same people he helped avoid paying their US taxes.
