What he does with his off-shore accounts, if they exist, means nothing to me. All I expect of a President is that he have his fellow citizens best interest at heart when he makes decisions.

Why should I care that anyone has a off shore account. It is called a tax shelter, everyone has a type.

What I find is irresponsible of the media is the statements they allowed. "Does Romney have a company that he does not want us to know about" It's get this right. Mitt Romney did not own a company, he as a equity capitalist. Before the media or democrats start throwing unsubstantiated stones in their glass houses. They need to look internally and wonder, what if the republicans start digging in their closets.

The issue that matters to me is what is the purpose of these offshore accounts?

I am not sure or follow? Are you saying what is the use for these accounts?

correct. It appears to be just to skirt taxes, or is there a legitimate reason?

If you mean a tax shelter, why not. I bet you have tax shelters, should that be held against you. Before you say no you don't, think about the taxes you just filed with the IRS. If you took the standard or itemized deduction, you used a tax shelter.

but my tax shelter as you so broadly define it is not offshore

Offshore is a general term. Romney just gave a interview and answered the question about his offshore account. Are you aware that what the media calls a offshore accounts are trusts setup for his children and grand children. These are held right here in the US and not in a foreign bank.
