    That's right ... W will give a keynote speech for millionaires on the beauty of hiding your money offshore ... and just before the election ...

    ... didn't Ryan already do this ?

    George W. Bush will give a keynote speech on investing in the Cayman Islands right before the election

    http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/189...the-cayman-islands-right-before-the-election/

    Former president George W. Bush isn’t exactly doing Mitt Romney any favors on the messaging front.

    As the current face of the Republican party, Mitt’s single biggest challenge has been distancing himself from his image as a business tycoon who got rich by outsourcing American jobs and then keeping big chunks of his fortune in Swiss bank accounts and invested in the Cayman Islands.


    On election week, George W. will rub the sketchy Cayman Islands playboy image right in Mitt’s face.

    BuzzFeed points out that W. will give the keynote address to the Cayman Islands Alternative Investment Summit, which goes down on Grand Cayman Island November 1-2, less than a week before the presidential election.

    The other keynote speaker will be the UK’s most famous billionaire playboy, Virgin’s Richard Branson, who owns his very own island not so far from Grand Cayman.

    The Summit’s site says the event “will bring together the world’s leading institutional investors, fund managers, academics, economists and regulators in the Cayman Islands—the world’s leading domicile for investment funds—to discuss and debate the fundamentals of a vibrant future for the alternative investments industry.”


    To most Americans, this is a pretty simple equation: “Cayman Islands” + “alternative investments” = “sketchy.”

    George W’s Cayman keynote is just the latest in a long string of reminders about Romney’s ultra-rich status and possibly sketchy behavior— and he’s not getting a lot of help from the people around him.

    Just last week former GOP candidate Tim Pawlenty left Rommey’s campaign in a high-profile departure to become a lobbyist for the banking industry, and promptly said that banks should just be allowed to regulate themselves.

    Last week Romney released his 2011 tax returns which showed him paying a 14% tax rate, and if the hackers who claim to have stolen his earlier records weren’t bluffing and haven’t been paid a ransom, they may release even more of Romney’s returns tomorrow.

    Accidental or not, somehow the messaging around Mitt’s millions seem to be the most consistent the GOP is able to construct around Romney.

    Many retirement funds have investments in many places. I guess the OP would like to take that away from seniors.

    Classic .. great find.

    Romney does not give a hoot about the US or its people. He already has his money out of the country and as soon as things get rough he will leave the country.

    Nothing like Obama's policies to force investment elsewhere. Thanks for the vid of Ryan saying just that.

    How the left hates doing something legally. Wonder why? They are just angry that they can't take money from people who earned it. Thieves, one and all.

    I like how the dude who gave millionaires & billionaires Bush Tax Cuts finally culminating in the Bush Great Depression is gonna tell the podunk voting base why you should vote for a guy who even hides his money from Bush Tax Cuts ...

    I really don't need an explanation how Bush is coming-in for a big Romney win with this one ... or do I ?


    LOL.

    Look for yourself exotic, I don't see a speech "on the beauty of hiding your money offshore" on the agenda. Perhaps you can point it out to me.

    Just think if Bush made 47% of America millionaires & billionaires instead of privatized wars to ruin, catastrophic deficts that magically matter when Dems are in office and a global great depression ...

    Liberalism would be outlawed.
