"Hiding" money abroad and not reporting the income on your tax returns is fraud. "Depositing" money abroad and reporting the income on your tax returns is not. Do you have any evidence that any money was "hidden?"
Until Romney releases his tax returns, we'll never know, will we? I guess I have to explain it to you again: even if
Obama Romney published
his college transcript, his thesis, his articles in the Harvard Law Review all his tax returns we would only be privy to the monies he "deposited" aboard and dutifully reported on his taxes. We would still be unaware of any money he has "hidden" abroad. If you have any evidence he has "hidden" money abroad by all means post it.
It makes no sense to say availing to provisions of the tax code constitutes a failure to pay the taxes that would be due if that provision of the tax code did not exist. It is entirely "legal," "ethical," "fair" and, yes, "American" to deduct your home mortgage interest from your tax returns even if your taxes would be higher if that provision did not exist in the tax codes.
Warren Buffett has repeated claimed that he "should" pay more taxes than are due under the current tax regime. Nevertheless, he continues to minimize his taxes due by availing himself to the current provisions. While his actions are hypocritical as Hell, I don't believe that he is being "unethical," "unfair" or "Un-American."
