    Mitt Romney, in his Position as Audit Chair at Marriot International, set up several tax avoidance schemes that led to a $220 million settlement with the IRS. Conversely, he has railed against such tactics by corporations during his campaign.

    From the article:

    In its “Believe in America” jobs plan released last year, the Romney campaign criticized federal policy for fostering corporate tax avoidance: “Corporations, for their part, are subject to rules and regulations that all too often encourage tax gamesmanship while discouraging reinvestment in the American economy.”

    Well, he outta know, as he took part in this 'tax gamesmanship'. Now he wants to be President. That should work out just great for the average American. Nothing like having the wolf guard the sheep. :psychoitc:
