Offshore Havens Behind Romney s Fortune

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: ''Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is on the hot seat over where he stashes his vast personal fortune, estimated at up to $250 million. We speak with reporter Nick Shaxson, whose new Vanity Fair article, 'Where the Money Lives,' delves into the murky world of offshore finance and reveals loopholes that allowed Romney to skirt tax laws and store millions in foreign tax havens. The article has sparked the latest round of questions about Romney s taxes and offshore accounts, amplified by Romney s refusal so far to release more than one year s worth of tax returns.''

Eighteen Prominent Republicans Who Want Romney to Release More Tax Returns Right Now

Annie-Rose Strasser, ThinkProgress: ''Mitt Romney continues to resist pressure to turn over more tax returns. In an interview today he said he is 'simply not enthusiastic about giving them hundreds or thousands of more pages to pick through, distort, and lie about.' The call for more information about Romney s financial past, however, is bipartisan. A poll released today found fifty-six percent of all voters, including sixty one percent of independents, think that Romney should release twelve years of returns.''
