of the auto workers in the U.S.

34. Romney: shell companies and offshore tax havens

Island tax havens factor into Romney's business success
Second of two parts
December 17, 2007|Bob Drogin , Times Staff Writer

BOSTON — While in private business, Mitt Romney utilized shell companies in two offshore tax havens to help eligible investors avoid paying U.S. taxes, federal and state records show.
snip

In the Cayman Islands, Romney was listed as a general partner and personally invested in BCIP Associates III Cayman, a private equity fund that is registered at a post office box on Grand Cayman Island and that indirectly buys equity in U.S. companies. The arrangement shields foreign investors from U.S. taxes they would pay for investing in U.S. companies.

Romney still retains an investment in the Cayman fund through a trust. Campaign disclosure forms show the investment paid him more than $1 million last year in dividends, interest and capital gains.

In Bermuda, Romney served as president and sole shareholder for four years of Sankaty High Yield Asset Investors Ltd. It funneled money into Bain Capital's Sankaty family of hedge funds, which invest in bonds and other debt issued by corporations, as well as bank loans.

Like thousands of similar financial entities, Sankaty maintains no office or staff in Bermuda. Its only presence consists of a nameplate at a lawyer's office in downtown Hamilton, capital of the British island territory.

"It's just a mail drop, essentially," said Marc B. Wolpow, who worked with Romney for nine years at Bain Capital and who set up Sankaty Ltd. in October 1997 without ever visiting Bermuda. "There's no one doing any work down there other than lawyers." snip

:puke:

If this guy gets the repuke nomination in 2012, we need to know who we're dealing with. This guy's a tax cheat ---apparently there was no company in the Caymans at all. :puke:

[Raschel]

41. What did Dave say to that?

[bullwinkle428]

67. Sadly, he didn't really challenge him at all.

[madmax]

53. WTF!

How about CEO salaries and yearly bonus bullshit. :grr:

Sorry, just wanted to vent. :hi:

[UTUSN]

14. We ain't NIELSEN ratings families!1 We do opposition research!1 n/t

[Cleita]

22. It isn't that. It's the attention that is happening on the web and the

letters and emails that they get. They know who is watching regardless of Nielsen, although that counts too. Let's face it, if people weren't watching, there wouldn't be this thread that they can track; there wouldn't be the letters and emails. The only feedback they would have would be from the entertainment columnists. Don't think they don't follow DU. I put up a post the other day and found it on Google about twenty minutes later.

[Raschel]

39. Well then they know that we all know she's ignorant and are watching to call her on her B.S.

I think that's a good thing.

That's why she's on trying to do damage control for her comments about Southpark and her other stupid remarks.

She'll be on something 'splainin her stupidity every week.

[itsrobert]

30. Don't be so fast. They are getting sneaky about doing ratings research

Now your cable/satellite company can track your viewing habits and turned them over to the rating research companies.

[Me.]

35. Exactly What I Was Going To Say

[napi21]

56. You're the 1st person I heard say that. I'vw believed that for a long time!

I'm positive each cable co. monitors it's viewership for their own purposes, so why wouldn't they turn this info over to the ratings cos? That's one of the main reasons I NEVER put FOX News on my TV! I know if something worth mentioning is said on there, DUers or Rachel or keith will tell me about it and I sure don't want to do anything to improve their false ratings.

[mojowork_n]

57. Say what?

You mean ratings come from something besides those sample diaries sent to Nielsen families? A black van with a twirling antenna on top is running around my city, grabbing signals out of the air, like in those old movies where the Gestapo is trying to find the secret radio of the underground?

I always wondered about that, how the numbers for how many folks were watching the Super Bowl come out so quickly.

Something else to google, I guess.

[spanone]

11. this audience - in los angeles- sounds like they'd vote for her tomorrow

she called the tea party movement a beautiful movement and the audience cheered

[Raschel]

18. A beautiful bowel movement?

[spanone]

24. yes, she left out the noun, didn't she.

[RKP5637]

40. Yeah, I was amazed at all of the clapping. Must have really had the applause lights

going. And paid to clap?

[Cleita]

47. No one who lives in Los Angeles goes to those shows.

They are too busy working and then spending hours on the freeways coming from home and going home. Those are all tourists from the Universal Studios Tours who are from mostly from Middle America.

[K8-EEE]

61. THANK YOU!! They had freepers there (literally)

The freeps were giving breathless "previews" because they had been to the taping.

Nobody who lives here goes to Leno taping! They give the tickets away up at tourist traps like Universal Studios.

Ellen and Bill Maher tapings I go to....tonight show, not since Johnny!

[dmr]

60. I bet the audience was stacked, and had the applause sign burning brightly

I can't imagine a normal audience cheering her on that way - and I'm am saying this sincerely and seriously.

[Raine]

64. Those shows are for tourists

I was born and have lived in LA all my life and have never been to one of those shows and the only people I know who have are from somewhere else. I used to go to the Farmer's Market on Fairfax next to the CBS studios and they were always giving out tickets to shows. All the tourist would lined up for the Price is Right. One time some fellow from CBS kept trying to talk me into being in the audience for Roseanne (she had a talk show at time) even would pay me for it. Who had time, I didn't ... told him no and had to keep saying it I finally had to get rude and walk off.

[bullwinkle428]

12. She's admitting she couldn't even remember the basic points of her agenda!

(Sharpie on hand)

[Raschel]

15. Every question from Leno is set up to explain her stupid gaffes.

So staged, like I knew it would be. I knew better than to turn it on. She is the phoniest person.

[realitythink]

16. I'm watching Letterman

And it's an effing HORROR FILM, called Reagan ll. It's frightening, he's trying to be endearing and funny.

[NYC_SKP]

17. What's she wearin'? Is she showin' off them legs again? Is she keepin' them together?

You've got the strong stomach, may as well let us in on the carnage...

[Raschel]

21. Well, her hair is getting bigger and bigger. Taller than Marge Simpson's.

[SalviaBlue]

36. She should get paid by Bumpits

[RKP5637]

44. LOL - you're exactly right, Marge Simpson. I was wondering who she reminded me of with

the growing 50's hair style.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[BlueMTexpat]

59. Except that, compared to SP,

Marge is a genius. Actually, I like Marge -- high, blue hair and all.

I do NOT like SP at all ... she defines the word hypocrite. Almost everyone with an R behind their name does too.

[RKP5637]

65. Yep, Agree 100%. I like Marge too, but SP to me is a horrible creature! n/t

[ChicagoSuz219]

58. Looks like she borrowed Tancredo's piece... LOL n/t

[Bryn]

23. She wore a black jacket and blue jeans

Not bad looking. The her show with Jay clearly was set up/planned so it wasn't good.

[Raschel]

28. Certainly bad - sounding. That voice - ugh! She sounds like an ignorant coffee talk kind of lady.

Talks and talks and never says anything.

Blah blah blah blah.....

"SHUT UP!"

[RKP5637]

45. Yep, it sounds like some combination of a PTA meeting and church pep talk whenever

she speaks, not only what she says, but that voice of hers grates on my nerves. I can just hear her loaded and nagging someone.

[UTUSN]

19. Thank ZEUS!1 it's over!1 Her next stop is the NRA circus. n/t

[Urban Prairie]

20. I'm glad that you aren't VP too, Palin!!

More than you will ever know.

Much, much more!!

[sadbear]

25. Well, at least it's now official

Sarah Palin is a joke.

[Bozita]

26. Leno never laid a glove on her. Does that pass for an interview?

[spanone]

27. she couldn't have scripted it better...

meanwhile she took her jabs at Obama

[Raschel]

32. And what did we learn class? She's a victim, her kids are victims. Same old same old.

Oh yeah, and her family's SO diverse. What a laugh.

Plus she stole a line from the President.

[spanone]

33. i was more frightened by the audience than her...

[wordpix]

37. what'd they do?

[spanone]

38. cheered her...when she called the tea party a beautiful movement, they cheered

the audience appeared to be sarah palin fans

[Raschel]

43. Jay Leno did her proud. He' s the smarmiest.

[ourbluenation]

62. Freepers were literally in the audience - they made a field trip out of it, poor dears. n/t

[Raschel]

42. That was strange. It was prolly those peebaggers all in the front row.

[RKP5637]

48. Same here! Sounded almost like a Tea Party Rally n/t

[Urban Prairie]

31. Sound bytes, just lame crapola

Nothing was elaborated on, especially about the teabaggerz.

Leno changed the subject by interrupting her to ask another unrelated question.

[K8-EEE]

50. He's a rotten interviewer with everyone not just her

I cannot stand to watch him struggle to converse while thinking of the next joke....man Johnny Carson was the best.

[lpbk2713]

29. Was Failin wearing an earpiece?

So that her handlers could keep her on track?

[live love laugh]

46. One question: W-H-Y subject yourself to this? I switched channels as Leno came on. nt

[K8-EEE]

49. Wow you guys have stronger stomachs than me I'd rather

watch Mittens or better yet -- NEITHER OF THE ABOVE!

[Urban Prairie]

52. I was watching it instead with an over the air digital TV converter and antenna

On my old portable TV...so Leno/NBC can't add my home to their ratings for tonight.

[Bravo Zulu]

51. Thanks for taking one for the team,

report back with your findings?

[upi402]

54. "leno says he watches faux and m$nbc" he'd do better to just pick a side

nobody like a MOR asskisser. dime a dozen at every workplace.

[Lorien]

55. Who is "she"? nt

[shockra]

63. The one who thinks Alaska's wildlife...

belongs next to the mashed potatoes on her plate.

[madokie]

66. One thing about it I knew exactly who you were referring to

Wonder what the dumbass thinks about what we think about her, surely she does know
