thanks for having me. coming up, explosive report exposes where mitt romney s offshore money lives and reveals his secret and shwould say shady strategies as the ceo of bain. the first right wingers are still furious with justice roberts. you won t believe the conspiracy theories they are coming up with now.
returns, especially tax returns filed without the anticipation of a presidential campaign, if romney ever filed one of those. well, if is a very important issue here, because i think there s good reason to think that he s been thinking about this since before bain, but since the founding of bain, i think what the american people deserve to learn about is, did you buy any illegal, gray-market tax shelters? were you audited in a way that the government found serious problems? did you make use of offshore vehicles in order to defer or not pay taxes? did you take advantage of things that were not caught in audits by the irs? i mean, either the irs didn t audit, for example, george bush s tax return the year he made almost all of his money from selling the rangers. so i don t understand why he is
looking for in older tax returns, especially tax returns filed without the anticipation of a presidential campaign, if romney ever filed one of those. well, if is a very important issue here, because i think there s good reason to think that he s been thinking about this since before bain, but since the founding of bain, i think what the american people deserve to learn about is, did you buy any illegal, gray-market tax shelters? were you audited in a way that the government found serious problems? did you make use of offshore vehicles in order to defer or not pay taxes? did you take advantage of things that were not caught in audits by the irs? i mean, either the irs didn t audit, for example, george bush s tax return the year he made almost all of his money from selling the rangers. so i don t understand why he is reluctant to release this. if his returns are clean, if there s nothing there to worry
romney talk about being the ceo of bain, what do you want people to know as one who worked and had to terminate people. i m not arguing the validity of venture capital. there is just a big difference between the values and skill sets that we would want in a business person whose goal is to create wealth for your investors and a president who we want to take care of everyone in the united states. i really, really find his claim that s he created jobs to be offensive. they were entry level service and retail positions, not ones that gave people a living wage. the jobs he eliminated in our plant absolutely were. the 850 jobs lost in miami that would allow people to send their kids to college and put food on the table.
backs unmistakable. chris: there is a narrative that the between the blowback of bain and the fact that the president has gone so negative and personal on romney so early that he stumbled out of the gate. do you buy that? it is too early to know. the reality is the obama campaign always planned to use the two months of the summer, may june and july to try to define mitt romney. we are not sure if it is being successful or not. the rollout of bain capital was really nothing short of a disaster for them and they had a lot of time to do this. at least in the eastern sort of atlantic coastal region. chris: like the governor of pennsylvania and the mayor of newark had their own ties to private equity. all democrats, right. what matters is how they is internalized by voters in ohio and wisconsin and michigan. it is far too early to say that the president s campaign has
