Think Progress: 2012 GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has already run into some trouble on the topic of tax havens. The company that he ran — Bain Capital — not only abused tax havens while he was at the helm, but Romney also saw his lucrative Bain retirement package boosted by the company’s use of offshore tax sheltering. Romney also had a Swiss bank account until 2010, which his money manager only closed because such an account would look bad politically. Adding another twist to the tale today, Bloomberg News reported that, while Romney was the head of its audit committee in the 90s, the hotel chain Marriott abused tax shelters, prompting multiple run-ins with the IRS.

Put this along with the fact R(mo)ney got filthy rich by bankrupting American companies, screwing American workers out of their pensions and destroying American jobs and the fact he supports the fiscal and regulatory policy that has encouraged outsourcing, devastated the middle class, and ultimately crashed our economy, and you come up with a picture of a guy who would be better suited running for the presidency of one of our enemies. China would actually be a logical choice. The factory owners there would no doubt be big supporters. In fact, they probably already are.
