Well. There It Is

Gawker, of all publications, has obtained 950 pages of documents that spell out the Byzantine holdings and corporate shells that Mitt Romney uses to avoid having to pay a fair tax rate on his obscene amounts of wealth. They’ve published the documents and briefly described them, but there’s a lot more analysis to come after the lawyers look over it. So far, the big reveal is that Romney is a dedicated tax-dodger, willing to use every trick in the book to avoid paying what he owes to a country that has given him so much. Regardless of the legality of it all, the immorality matters.[Emphasis added.]
