Romney-Gekko 2012: ‘Find Your Tax Haven’ ad

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:
Do we have any travel agents out there? I am curious what one of those 4 nights and three days in the Cayman Islands packages costs. I was thinking a "Visit Mitt's Money in the Caymans" raffle might make a good fundraiser for Democratic organizations. You need to bring back photos of his P.O. Boxes in the Caymans.
Americans United for Change's Romney-Gekko 2012 campaign, has a new parody ad highlighting Romney's use of an offshore tax haven in the Cayman Islands. The ad is a parody of the series of "Find your beach" ads for Corona Beer.
The ad opens with two men on the beach in suits, symbolizing "Mittens" Romney and Gordon Gekko. In the background two airplanes fly by with banners reading "Welcome to the Caymans — Home of Mitt's Millions" and "'Cuz Paying Taxes Is 4 Poor People… Romney-Gekko 2012."
