attacks on Romney regarding so called swiss bank accounts.
HUh??? Are you claiming he did not have money in Swiss bank acocunts?
His own campaign said he did. Here ya go,
"Mitt Romney's campaign is amending the financial disclosure form he filed in 2011 to acknowledge that a Romney trust earned interest income from a Swiss bank account, a detail that had been missing from the report. "

swiss bank" account is to mean some overseas accounts..unknown to the IRS.. but
infact branches
Swiss bank account means swiss bank accounts. Nothing else, nothing more-pretty ironic, considering you are the one accusing others of lacking facts. thomaswong.1986 says
just do a search on UBS branch offices in the US..
http://apps1.ubs.com/locationfinder/searchForm.do?GeoEntityId=3&GeoEntityType=3
Romney didnt prepare his IRS tax return .. a big four Accounting Firm Price
Waterhouse Coopers did.. so they missed an immaterial amount.. it happens to
everyone.
UBS was forced to turn over large amount of American accounts to the USA.
Now many banks won't take US clients, and I can't stand US policy to foreign resident nationals. I think we are extremely thuggish and act like drunken goons, with no repsect for other countries and our own citizens that reside outside. But that is me and Romney couldn't present a good case-that is his fault. Oh I guess I should try that with the IRS next time. As for him not having responsibility-Sarbanes-Oxley.
thomaswong.1986 your fool. Get lost.
perhaps some of your British friends do their personal banking with Overseas American Banks.. like Bank of America with its UK branch.. Is this someone hiding money in "overseas" banks or is it still reported the government revenue house ?

In fact many ameicans everyday use UBS (USA) to do their personal and corporate accounts. All legit all know...to the Govt and IRS.

Not really. Not all of them have to be illegal-probably a majority. But not all. But it was you who stated it was not so and Romney's own campaign disagrees with you. But you want to blame the dems for your stuborness??

there is nothing to defend but only describe to you the real world as it exists.
so .. UBS (USA) issued Form 1099-INT that was missed by PWC wth late interest earned on a closed bank account.. Had there been some trickery on the part of Romney.. PWC would have reported it to the IRS.. Amendments are common. Its not a big thing..

There is no overseas, secret, bank accounts.. do you get that ? Staffed by Americans l and regulated by US Goverment .. Any different with any other foreign bank with US branches or US with European/Asian Branches.
The only thing there is .. is a stigma and lies of having A SWISS BANK ACCOUNT..
Truth only shows for many who have a Business Degree that Dems are really stupid ..
and certainly all of this is no more than Chicago Style Politics.

And you wonder why people laugh at the right. You latch on to some inane concept and then stick to it, no matter how many facts are shown. Belief always trumps facts for your kind. Here is Politifact, where even Romney and his blind trust guy acknowledge they had millions in a Swiss Bank trust.

You dont even know what a Swiss Bank Account means ?
I can walk to a local Swiss, Chinese, Japanese, and British bank in the Bay Area.. open an account and have a Check, Visa Card issued to me.. as a US citizen.. and yet under all the US Fed banking and IRS regulations.
So what ?
Did Romney fly out to Switzerland and open a Swiss Bank Account with Fictious name to avoid US IRS taxes.. There is no such proof he did.. and why would he ?
Again just Chicago style politics.. you are bull shiting lies everyday... for your Glorious Leader
And you wonder why people laugh at the right.
how many people have a 4 year business degree ? this is common knowledge those who do..
no wonder 10 million of former 2008 obama voters didnt vote in 2012.

Who said anything about ficitious names? The ad from the dem side said he had millions in a Swiss Bank account, nothing more, nothing less - he did. Sheesh.
You can go to any foreign bank based in the US and open a US account right away-that will be a US account. Then they have different accounts for different countries that you can only open based on their rules of eligibility and US restrictions. It ain't that easy-many foreign banks are refusing US accounts, because of the draconian rules.
blind trust guy acknowledge they had millions in a Swiss Bank trust.
a trust is a legal entity KNOWN to the IRS.. it doesnt matter if its Swiss or US bank earning interest or other investments .. Do you understand this.. else what ?

Yup Romeny was right about him having Swiss bank accounts-he did. Obama pointed that out.

Your trying to attach a stigma to a term that no longer means anything.. only idiotic journalists and obama cronies are hyping the BIG BAD ILLEGAL SECRET SWISS BANK ACCOUNT..
yes even the IRS know about it.. and they say SO WHAT ?
Your going to go overboard because of Romneys final interest earned $1700 on a closed account ..
again... Any US citizen can walk tomorrow into a Swiss Bank Branch and open a checking account, credit card, and other services.. its been like this for fucking decades..
This is not illegal... heck.. they may be paying higher interest on account balances than US banks.
End of matter-but you claim that is a sign dems don't know what facts are and go on and on about 4 year business degrees and how anyone who doesn't agree with you must be stupid-sigh..

You don't see many on the left claiming that Romney lied or that he is playing dirty politics using that issue do you? I have yet to come across one that denies it.
Really-do you even have a clue of what you are talking about.
yes.. i went as far to provide the location of Swiss US Branch ...
why the fuck are they there ? are they hidden in some dark alley only the rich know about ?
or common knowledge... all these foreign banks working in US borders including the SWISS are all well known to the IRS and Bank regulators...
if your so concerned about the RICH .. go ask the Kennedy's about their BILLIONS...

So do you have a foreign bank account-especially after 2010? I do, as I worked abroad for awhile. Tell me again-you were saying?
This is the problem when your brain is fogged by extreme partisanship. You have to protect anything and everything on your side and then your side has to come up with outrageous arguments to protect that initial silliness and you end up looking like the modern right wing .
Now I am no fan of Obama, but the right is just so batsh*t crazy, that there is really no choice.

Nope-not on the China pension issue. Can you read before claiming as facts-might make you more believeable-or accept that you made a mistake-we all do.

Personally... no..
Professionally.. yes... I am a co-signature (1 of 5) authority for 10 corporate overseas banks where my company does business. We in the US fund these accounts each month to pay local employees salaries/benefits, vendors, landlords, and taxing authorities.

Odd-hard to believe. Do you just sign of for the account or are actually involved in the whole process. You do realize that they are two different animals don't you? I work mostly in the finance field in IT though-most of my work is with multinational corporations. Worked on multiple projects with branches/employees in multiple countries and dealing with taxes, employees, time and expense and foreign exchange transactions. The IT side of it-but you need the financial knowledge to do that. They are two different animals.
Go to a bank here and ask them what is the process of opening a foreign bank accout . Go ahead. Now opening an account in the US of a foreign bank is not a foriegn account as you claim of Romney -that is a US account. To open any other country foreign account varies by country-some it is very easy, others it is like negotiating a minefield.
This is the problem when your brain is fogged by extreme partisanship. You have to protect anything and everything on your side and then your side has to come up with outrageous arguments to protect that initial silliness and you end up looking like the modern right wing .
has nothing to do with partisanship (except on the left)...
it has everything to do with understanding how modern global banking systems work.
it also has everything to do that our current crop of crony democrats and journalists who play the public as idiots who have no idea idea how business in the US or globally works. That includes so called Swiss Bank Accounts... and so called foreign investments.
