Tax dodgers scramble to come clean amid crackdown

[darkwarrior3007]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A deal with Switzerland settling U.S. demands for the names of suspected tax dodgers from a Swiss bank has a lot of wealthy Americans with offshore accounts nervously running to their tax advisers -- and the Internal Revenue Service.

"They are very frightened," said Richard Boggs, chief executive of Nationwide Tax Relief, a Los-Angeles-based tax firm that specializes in clients with tax debts exceeding $100,000. "You have the super rich who are not used to being pushed around and they are finding themselves in unfamiliar territory."

Good, I hope they get them all. Fucking criminals!

I guess the funniest thing that I've seen related to this was when Larry Kudlow (Mr. Neocon, Free Market, Law & Order on CNBC) was talking about how this was a terrible thing to do, as it might negatively affect Switzerland's banking system. Way to be a patriot, Kudlow. Way to put America first, you asshat.

I used to respect him. But after the bank bailouts, Mr. "Free Market" Kudlow whined like a little bitch because his pals at Lehman were allowed to go under. It's just unfortunate that the state of the economy prevented free market forces from allowing these other zombie institutions from failing (as they should have).

I pay my taxes. If these tax cheats won't pay theirs, I hope the government gives it to them hard in the ass. No sympathy from me for these elitist criminals. Let the neocons cry for them. I say, screw 'em.

With things like this happening the rich tax dodgers will just have to go with their perfectly legal and quasi-legal tax evasion schemes that are abundantly available to them from now on, instead of just using blatantly illegal tax shelters. I don’t think they are getting too worried yet. If all else fails they can just get access/influence/bribe politicians to change the tax laws to how they like. They have been doing that longer than most of us on here have been alive.

^^^True.

Still, it's nice to see a cheating rat bastard squirm every now & again though.

Oh, and just because I like saying it so much... "F#ck you, Larry Kudlow. You pretentious, hypocritical, self important asshole." There. I feel better now.
