Just like everybody with money does.

Isn't it strange then that all the other candidates released their returns and didn't move massive amounts of money off shore to avoid taxation. Shouldn't it be considered that other candidates didn't make their living bankrupting corporations and bleeding out their equity through a combination of debt and fees exactly the same way mobsters bustout restaurants before burning them down for the insurance money?

As for him running for President...Kennedy didn't show his tax returns, and his family money came from his daddy (bootlegging liquor) and they kept money in offshore accounts and did WAY more shady things than Romney has ever done (mob ties, criminal activities, etc) Did it have any bearing whatsoever on Kennedy's ability to be the President. No. How about Roosevelt? One of the most famous wealthy families of all times. He never showed his tax returns. Was he "hiding" something? And his money too was old family money. Does that mean he shouldn't have been President? I think history proves otherwise.

And if Kennedy was running for President those would be very valid reasons not to elect him. You may have missed the point here. Romney and Obama are running for President... so it's their records that count. Whether or not a syphilis-ridden hermit in Transylvania also ran a private equity firm busting out companies in the 1820s really wouldn't hold much relevance either. This campaign has two choices... so what 'everyone does' really doesn't matter... what the two of them do or don't do, does matter.

Of course I'd also legalize drugs and prostitution...so don't expect to see "President Robbie" in office anytime soon in this uptight country. lol

It sure is ironic that the guy who famously made showing your tax returns such an important part of Presidential campaigns happens to be Romney's own father. He seemed to think it was awfully important that everyone running for the office do so.
