re: #273 compound_Idaho

You forgot to consider the cash out of any pension plans. The point is that the numbers do not require a crime.

I’m not accusing him of a crime, though. I think that Romney undervalued stock that went into the IRA, which is violating the spirit but not (usually) the letter of the law. Your contention is that he had 401(k)s, pensions, etc. that brought the amount up to $100 million. I really doubt that— or Bain had a very, very strangely overinflated pension plan, which would itself be worth talking about given how often the GOP whines about public employee pension plans.

You know what would help us in this discussion? If Mitt Romney released his tax returns.
