Dude, Some Have Speculated! What more proof do you need? It *could* be true!

Just like Glenn Beck raping and murdering that girl. I've read it. And that has even stronger proof - the "Some Have Said" level.

I don't know. I refuse to trust anything lower than the An Unnamed Source Indicated level of professionalism. But, I'm also an elitist.

AverageAmericanGuy: some super-rich folks were setting up overseas companies and taking their salary overseas and then stashing the money in Swiss bank accounts to evade the eyes of the IRS

Wasn't half of Hollywood going to do that when Bush was Prez?

ontariolightning: halB: If you are an American citizen, and you make money ANYWHERE in the world, you have to pay taxes. That's right, you have to give the American government money when they provide you with no services, no infrastructure, no police safety, NOTHING. They're like a freaking vampire, and this tax code is a joke.

But here's the worst part. If you renounce your citizenship solely for tax reasons, you are barred from re-entering the US for TEN FREAKING YEARS!!

That's right, they would keep out former citizens solely for money. Land of the free and the home of the joke.

The US also flag Canadians who fly to Cuba, harrass them and sometimes
even bar them entry into the US

And people on here wonder why I don't wanna step foot in that POS country

not one post had a wonder of why you don't want to step foot on american soil. you just keep posting trolling hate.

everyone in Canada is really nice but you are the one exception. your co-workers and neighbors hate you but you're too dense to see it. even the local children urinate on your car door and laugh gleefully every time they see you grab the handle.

TyrantII: This. Taxes are historical lows and Obama has presided under the tax cuts that got us there.

But is he an American Citizen? NO, and he never has been!

If there was any impetus to leave the US based on a flawed system it'd be after watching one party live in pants-shiatting fear for four years doing nothing but try to jam up the works for any thing to get done in their reluctance to give an inch. And people are supposed to believe we'd be better off with these spiteful, hate filled children in power?

Good. Our tax laws have to have teeth. Either get something from these tax dodgers, or take something away from them. No more of this making a ton of money in Scotland* where you don't have to pay taxes on it, then bringing it into America penalty free.

(Money actually made providing goods and services to Americans, but since you have a PO box in Scotland you can call it your permanent address and claim you "made" the money from there.)

I'm a sceptic so I'm holding out for "news outlets have commented"

Well, it is from Russia Today, Putin's "we've got your back, V" analog to Fox News.
