Liberal Hypocrisy: DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz also has foreign accounts and swiss bank

[Anonymous]

HAHA, what a moron. How can she talk about Mitt romney's minor overseas funds in his blind trust that he doesn't manage when she has an even more direct investment in foreign accounts and swiss banks.

LOL

Uh, she owned a few mutual funds that invested a small portion of their money in overseas banks. She doesn't have millions stashed away in a tax haven.

Not gonna fly.

Wow, people really think this is a news story? She held shares in a mutual fund? BFD.

did you read the article? dont you think this is a reach?

seriously, she invests in a mutual fund that invests in foreign companies. so in order to be clear of contradictions, one must only invest in american companies?

i believe the issue with romney is that he holds money in overseas banks and financial institutions to possibly avoid taxes and the like, not that he has money invested in foreign companies as it sounds like what debbie wasserman schultz does.

im sure wasserman schultz pays taxes on dividends and sales of her holdings in the US as a result of her investments in the fund like you and i would so again, what is the deal here?

i guess you get an A for effort.

Is there one conservative left on earth that is capable of reading and analysis? If so, that individual has not made himself known around here lately.

Wasserman Schultz invested in a US-based 401K retirement fund. That fund made foreign investments. Indeed, along with investments into American Express, Loews Corporation, and Progressive Corporation, it invested 5% of its funds in a Swiss banking group. That is not a "Swiss bank account." That is ownership of shares of a Swiss bank. Do you not understand the difference?

Moreover, these are most definitely not "direct investment in foreign accounts". Do you even know what "direct" means?

Just to clarify:

Direct investment = take your money and place it in foreign account.

Indirect investment = invest in US fund which in turn makes foreign investments. I would guess that most of us have done this with our retirement funds.

The only thing to LOL about here is the stupidity of the average Republican.

Maybe this is a post from a liberal who is aiming to make Republicans look bad? If so - well done, my friend.

I think the wingnuts have all taken pledges promising not to do this.

That's why she won't release her tax returns.
