    America has the lowest savings rate per capita of any industrialized nation.

    But then again, no other nation has been dominated by the Demoncrat Party for most of its existance…

    Loved the period from 1932-1994, when the GOP had influence to write laws in Congress roughly, like, NEVER. By the time they finally got into Congress it was too late. The Demoncrats had already trashed the culture and created a federal bureacracy which proved impervious to all outside forces. A governmental Borg Collective which steadily assimilated every GOP candidate so that just 6 years later they BECAME the Borg–meaning they became just like Demoncrats.

    And the more things change the more they stay the same…

    Dr. Cannuk,

    It must not be able to make it through those liberal college professor buffers.

    Dr. Canuck: US Citizens are not supposed to put their money in non-US institutions, though they can invest in such institutions if they channel their funds through authorised US investment firms (which must issue complex forms to the US IRS and to the US investors detailing the extensive taxes due on such investments or deposits, so the net return always turns out to be negative after tax preparation expenses).

    According to my local newspaper, the Obama government recently announced an amnesty: an investor with $1 million on deposit in an unauthorised foreign institution would pay only $300,000 if he turns himself in; if caught by the IRS, the total penalty would be more than $3 million.

    Want that money to come back home or just plain stay in the USA? Make the USA the largest tax haven in the world.
    FAIR TAX.
    under the Fair tax the IRS would only be collecting sales tax. It is so easy even Obama appointees could handle it.

    Are you sure about that? I’ve never read/heard that before. I thought the issue with Swiss banks was that it has become a successful way to hide money from the IRS in order to evade taxes.

    Could you elaborate?

    scottfreitas, love the revisionist history.

    It’s free-market Friedmanism group-think that’s teraing this country apart, that sent our jobs overseas, that is destroying our infrastructure.

    I’m sorry all you righties have drank the kool-aid of selfish un-Americanism.

    You are free to put your money in foreign bank accounts, but you must report the income - the amnesty was for those who did not report.
