While folks on flooded Stanten Island beg for mercy, our ex-president is on the Cayman Islands holding another secret meeting of the Super Rich. No news folks are allowed to record what is being said. Romney has not talked to the press in twenty three days. Are they making plans to widen the tax revolt of the super rich, they dressed like patriots in native American costumes, they whoopen and a hollering as they get drunk under the protection of the British Navy? Do the Super Rich have a care for the State of New Jersey as they dance around the flag of their protector nation?
Romney could have prepared his yacth to come to the aid of the victims of hurricane Sandy, but, Romney doesn’t help “victims”. Commadore Mitt could have ferried FEMA folks, and used his ship to shore to comminicate the needs of the stranded.. Instead, he faked a food give away in Ohio. I’m sure he didn’t want his yacht to get as much as a scratch.
George W once owned a baseball team. David Einhorn, tried to buy the NY Mets. We the People should pass a law making it illegal for Cayman Ilsand Ex-Pats to own an All American Baseball team – unless they submit to a rectal examination to make sure they are not hiding their jewelry from the IRS.

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands — Organizers of an investment conference in the Cayman Islands have been forbidden from disclosing any details about a speech by former President George W. Bush in the offshore financial haven, an event spokesman said Thursday.
The keynote speech by the former president was “totally closed to all journalists,” and conference organizers were banned from discussing any aspect of it even in general terms, spokesman Dan Kneipp said.
“We’ve got a complete blackout on discussing the Bush details,” Kneipp told The Associated Press.
The Flag of the Cayman Islands was adopted on 14 May 1958 after the colony was officially granted a coat-of-arms. Prior to that, the Islands had used the British flag for all official occasions. In 1999, the white disc was removed and the arms were more than doubled in size, although the pre-1999 flag remains popular and is still used on some official occasions, and the Cayman Islands Government website describes the flag as a “British blue ensign with the arms on a white disc in the fly.” During the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics, and during the 2010 Winter olympics, the Cayman Islands team marched in under the flag as described on the government website.
Common with most British overseas territories The Governor’s flag is a Union Flag defaced with the coat-of-arms. The governor’s flag was also changed in 1999, the arms were made bigger and a golden ring was added.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s campaign on Wednesday partied with wealthy donors on a 150-foot yacht that flies the flag of the Cayman Islands, according to an ABC News report.
Members of the Romney Victory Council, who have each raised more than $1 million for the candidate, mingled with Romney’s brother, Scott, and other relatives in Tampa aboard the luxury yacht “Cracker Bay.”
While they waited outside the unadvertised event, ABC News snapped photos of the Cayman Islands civil ensign flag flying on the yacht’s stern.
Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-VA) was reportedly scheduled to speak to the more than 50 people attending.
“It was a really nice event,” billionaire energy industry executive Wilbur Ross told the network. “These are good supporters.”
Romney came under fire earlier this year when it was revealed that he had millions stashed in the Cayman Islands, a notorious tax haven. In August, Vanity Fair reported that Romney still had a personal stake in at least 12 of Bain Capital’s Cayman Island funds, worth up to $30 million.
The candidate recently insisted to Fox News host Chris Wallace that “there was no reduction — not one dollar reduction — in taxes by virtue of having an account in Switzerland or a Cayman Islands investment.”
“I think it’s ironic they do this aboard a yacht that doesn’t even pay its taxes,” a woman who lives at the marina where Cracker Bay is moored told ABC News.
