To reply to a clause in this post which is not really the point: It’s important for everyone — especially the rational and beter-informed people who populate FreeRepublic — to know that the effort to get Switzerland to turn over information about tax cheaters has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Obama administration. It is a war that’s been going on, conducted by the U.S. Justice Department, for a long time. The key victory came in February of this year with an agreement between the IRS and Switzerland, which itself came after some American bankers working for Swiss banks pled guilty to various things nobody would want to have to plead guilty to.
So Please — don’t say, and don’t let anybody else believe, that Dear Leader is responsible for bringing the tax cheats to justice.
