I appreciated your editorial, "The rich get rich, and then flee overseas," (July 16), about the money of some wealthy people going overseas. We keep hearing that raising taxes would hurt the "job creators." I know our tax rates are at historic lows now, so I've been wondering where the created jobs are. When I hear that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has a Swiss bank account, a shadow company in Bermuda, money in the Cayman Islands and whatever else his remaining tax returns will show, I just want to say, Mr. Romney, if you would be our president, please invest your wealth in us, in America.
Avoiding taxes is your right, but it's not presidential. America needs leaders dedicated to job creation.
