Hiring armies of accountants to make sure your tax burden is the lowest it can possibly be, is 100% legal and incredibly smart.

Are you telling me you wouldnt look for EVERY opportunity to lessen your tax burden? I mean, we all bargain people on TVs, cars, houses, rent, clothes, etc why would you NOT do it on taxes?

Every tax shelter Romney has used (offshore accounts, loop holes) etc exist because the IRS LETS IT EXIST. Its EXISTED UNDER EVERY PRESIDENT FOR THE LAST 30 years. John Kerry PURPOSEFULLY PARKED HIS BOAT in a different harbor to AVOID PAYING his home states taxes on it.
John Kerry Saves $500,000 By Docking 76-Foot Luxury Yacht Out Of State

I mean these guys do it all the time, Democrat AND republican.

Romney has done nothing illegal, if he had, the IRS would be all over him.
You can manipulate it any way you want. Apply whatever terminology you want. Making money here and not paying the taxes on it whether the IRS (what a joke) says it's legal or not isn't right. Especially when you're bold enough to call out the bottom rung and label them leeches for not paying taxes. If he's man enough to do that and wants everyone to pull their own weight, he needs to do it too. Just because he (and the others that do it) is clever enough to find a legal loophole doesn't make it morally right. Don't give me any of this legal nonsense. There are things that should be illegal that are legal, and things that are legal that should be illegal. The almighty dollar dictates what side of the equation an action falls on, especially when dealing with financial matters.
