But your suggestion of a "tax haven" is rank speculation. Further,
there is no "tax haven" capability in an off-shore account. The US is
one of only two countries that tax foreign earnings (the other is the
Philippines). What the Caymens, Bahamas, etc., offer is bank
"secrecy." Now one CAN use the secrecy to hide dodgy transactions,
but Romney is a Republican. Republicans just don't do that sort of
thing.

Sorry - as much of a Democrat, or a liberal as I am not - I just
cannot bring myself to accept such a broad brush statement. Republicans
have been and can be as guilty of any sort of sin as
anyone else.

Your claim, that Republicans can be rascally in their financial dealings, is
certainly true.

There was an instance back in 1922 called the "Teapot Dome Scandal" during
the administration of Warren G. Harding which we Republicans like to forget.
