        But that's an opposing system to one in which "you're a citizen; you pay a flat rate on everything, no exceptions" which to some might seem more fair - Max Jul 10, 14:15
        
        It implies taking advantange of the "system" in ways that are detrimental to the US (less tax revenue), though perfectly legal. I think your point - pmb Jul 10, 14:11 2

        There's no question that it's an attack that's aimed at hitting with the undereducated and underinformed voter. - pmb Jul 10, 14:19
    - I think TWuG was asking if there were legitimate reasons other than reducing taxes owed, not whether it was legal. -- nm - mara Jul 10, 13:59 16
      - I used evasion but should have used avoidance. Are the reasons to have the accounts that don't relate to avoiding - TWuG Jul 10, 14:04 1
        
        [deleted]
      - [deleted] 2
        
        the difference being one is simply moving money around to avoid the tax man and doesn't have any greater societal benefit. -- nm - znufrii Jul 10, 14:03 1

      - question - he used the word 'evasion'. does 'evasion' imply an illegal act? -- nm - Andie Jul 10, 14:00 10
        
        I don't think he meant illegal. If he had, he wouldn't have said legitimate. -- nm - mara Jul 10, 14:10 6
        
        I think we are demonstrating how silly this line of questioning against Romney is. - con_carne Jul 10, 14:11 4

        This. He's hiding something. That something may just be the extent of his wealth and investments. - TWuG Jul 10, 14:19 2

        IIRC, he has some Swiss, but like a dozen or two Caymans accounts -- nm - con_carne Jul 10, 14:25
  - Yeah, not even in a spin context, I would think. Lots of morally questionable things are legal, etc. -- nm - con_carne Jul 10, 13:57 5
    - do you pay more taxes than you have to? i sure don't. -- nm - Andie Jul 10, 14:05 4

        I think most would agree with the point in your IM. - znufrii Jul 10, 14:15
