Companies controlled by Morse gave nearly $1 million to the pro-Romney Restore Our Future superPAC. Registered in the Caymans, and flying a version of the Caymans' "civil ensign" or merchant flag, the Cracker Bay has an impressive art collection and can seat 30 for dinner. |

It's just a flag on a yacht. I can sense many conflicted readers unsure how to react however. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6630717 It won't effect the base in the least. Those fighting to repeal the inheritance tax are well aware of this common practice. For the middle class independents - just one more straw on the; Well, at least we won't ever have to run Mittins again" camel back. |

Cayman Islands is a banking setup that's part of a global organized crime syndicate. |
