Raul in Spain who has never set foot in the United States, attended schools in Spain and has never left Spain, has no financial interests in the United States because his birth mother was an American. Under Article 14 of the equal protection clause under the law, he is not a criminal because he failed to report his bank account in Spain... He is an American Citizen by proxy, but did not know it and while taking a trip to Disney in Florida, he is promptly arrested. That is now where the tax law stands. Not to worry, China, Russia and whoever else can now play the same game and now with the help of the Justice Deparment, can contrive whatever law suits them and seize U.S. Assets..

Not. I think you should send them what is due and I am totally and absolutely against evasion or fraud or anything even approaching that - but the fact still remains that if you send those whiz kids in Washington one single dollar they will spend five. They are busily spending some 790 billion now with no one in charge of where it goes and how it gets there - it seems they can't decide on who to put in charge - perhaps before they started giving the money away would have been a good time to do that. And I'm almost willing to bet the hold up is because they can't decide whether a Democrat or a Republican should be in charge.....and we consistently vote for these very same people over and over and over again.

If all people paid their taxes legitimately and on the entire amount required, you can bet your sweet bippy that the USA would be in better straights than it is now! Serves them right.
