...yeah, I probably have a few million still down in the Caymans. Money is like dust bunnies, don't you know. Pretty soon it's under the couch, in the corners, a little here, a bit in the Caymans.

4. Are you kidding? After visiting Grand Cayman I was broke! Lunch the 1st day blew my food budget....

... for the week. At the end of the week I had to hitchhike back to the airport. This was in 1982 and there was no American fast food at that time.

Things are still very expensive there. All the food and everything else has to be imported.

Caymanians are way wealthier than Americans, hire Jamaicans and others to do their labor. Every other business in Georgetown is a Bank. In 1982 I visited several homes of average Caymanian citizens. At that time they all had a satellite receiver, color TV and a VCR (which was still a luxury in the US in 1982).

Except he's serious.
I'd guess most of the people he associates with have at least a few million in offshore accounts.

That is to say, Mitt Romney. Same difference. And none of you lot will feel sorry for him if he wins the election, will you? He'll be reduced to living on a fixed income in government housing! Weep for Mitt Romney's lot. Weep, I say!

is Solamere Capital. With Romneys son Tagg and the campaigns financial advisor Spencer Zwick. Do some Google and it will blow your mind. Made a little blip in MSM in November, but story needs to be fleshed out.
