so Willard had his money in Swiss bank and Caymans.
Why he did not invest it in America and created jobs? Any trickle down Maoist care to answer?

It's a tax shelter pure and simple. There's no other explanation.

but doesn't his less then 15% tax rate inspires him to invest and create jobs, instead of parking money overseas?
TRICLE DOWN MY ASS

No, Mittens doesn't REALLY care about creating jobs.. that's just a smokescreen. He cares mostly about building his wealth and spreading his religion.

"but doesn't his less then 15% tax rate inspire him to invest and create jobs, instead of parking money overseas?"

Bingo. His behavior underscores the biggest lie they tell to justify coddling the 1%.

His explanation was pure Republicanese. "Who would want a President who paid more taxes than he had to?" I guess the point was that betrayal of principle is a good thing as long as it's seasoned with greed.
He'll now have to carefully avoid saying "job creators" if he ever has to debate Obama. That should work out well for him. He can still say it now because there's no one on the stage with enough integrity to call him on it. They want to use the same lie.

Actually, Mitt just outright stated that he wouldn't have wanted his own father to be President.

I have to admit that I don't have much patience with this forum, so I haven't posted in a while. However, the parallel between Mitt's statement and the release of twelve years' worth of George Romney's tax returns back in 1968, when it was discovered that Romney had not used all of the tax loopholes available to him and therefore paid more in taxes than he had to, was just too much fun to not comment on.

If only George H. W. Bush had been honest enough to say he didn't want his dissolute son to be President.

I remember Barbara laughing about it and saying, "I never thought it would be that one." His own mother was effectively mocking the pubs for choosing him.
