In all likelihood Mitt's IRA rollover is perfectly legal, thanks to Congress being so goddamned stupid it doesn't look at possible loopholes before passing legislation. Remember, it's a rollover, and not an annual contribution. I don't think there are any limits at all to how much can be rolled over into an IRA from another pension/401(k) source.

Remember back in the 1980s when IRAs were all the rage that people were actually taking of advantage of it? Congress realized the program was popular, so it had to put limits on the income of people who could take the full deduction from the contribution. Subsequently, IRA contributions went into a nosedive from which they never recovered.

Mitt Romney is the classic example of a tax cheat who has the good fortune (pun intended) to hire lawyers and accountants who know how to game the system for his benefit.

It should be interesting, however, if it's true he hasn't paid taxes in ten years.
