If you can explain how one can avoid paying taxes on declared accounts, I'd love to hear it. Because it's ridiculous. I have an offshore account.... just like many other Americans - we are not 'avoiding' paying taxes... we are maximizing efficiency. It's no big deal - unless you are a petty, bitter individual.
Yea, I can appreciate how an idiot would find it funny. You tell me.... I'm a US Citizen. I earn income that does not come from the US. It is money that has never been in the US, has nothing to do with the US Government. It is earned on overseas investments. It has jack shit to do with the US Government.... UNTIL I bring it into the US. Then, it becomes the US Government's business... and it is then that I pay taxes on it. That is not fucking rocket science, at least it isn't to me... perhaps it is to you. That says more about you than it does about a perfectly legal system. As long as the account is declared (as is Romney's and as is mine)... there is no way money can be 'hidden'. Twit.
I do the same and thanks for explaining this to the ignorant pissants.
