An update to my reporting on Brad Birkenfeld. He was imprisoned by the Justice Department, while rewarded beyond his wildest dreams by the IRS. Now he's going on the offense against what he says was the corrupt actions by the Justice Department in 2007.

Clickbait.
I’m not going to listen to a long audio.
Any synopsis you can provide?

Gerry Spence is right there is no justice for the elite
every source on FR is clickbait, and this one makes you throw a hissy fit? But you are damn fine opening up MSM fake news urls’ like CNN, LAT, WSJ,APNEWS and giving them web traffic.
Good to know you have your priorities straight.
The audio is like ten minutes
How the rich avoided taxes but we get to pay taxes
Thanks.
But the whistleblower himself doesn’t think the U.S. government has gone nearly far enough.
Why did the Department of Justice not press the Swiss banks for the names of all of the Americans who had secret accounts there? Why did the IRS design a compliance program that allowed 50,000 Americans to admit they broke the law but remain safely anonymous, protected from embarrassment of admitting guilt?
To Birkenfeld, all this is evidence that the U.S. government is still enabling the wealthy and powerful Americans who hid their fortunes in Switzerland: CEOs, movie stars and even American political figures. It’s one of the great mysteries of the entire saga: Out of the tens of thousands of Americans who hid money overseas, the government has only indicted or charged a relative handful. Only a few have gone to jail.
If I have to download anything that comes with tracking software then it’s clickbait. I might buy the book but I’m not downloading crap to my computer.
I understand. My bud works for a data mining company and he told me every site is data mined, esp, with Windows 10 and Google. You use Chrome, W10, it’s tracked and mined. Regardless of how small the blog is.
Personally I see the IRS as bad guys funding a Government that has grown way beyond it original planned bounds . The Income Tax amendment is a cancer that is slowly killing the American dream. I see anybody who denies the greedy hands of scumbags like Nanzi Pelosi or Crying Chuck Schumer from any more loot as a good thing.
Another GREAT argument in favor of the FAIRtax!
Check FAIRtax out at https://www.bigsolution.org or https://www.fairtax.org
If we could, somehow, someway, get FAIRtax signed into law Real Soon Now, it would GREATLY speed the economic recovery!
FAIRtax will help POTUS Make America Great Again, Again!
Swiss bank got hit with an $875M fine this week.
Convention of States is how to get that done.
That is certainly a possibility.
HST, I do not favor a CoS.
My concern with the CoS is that the LIEberals will take over and REALLY screw the USA up!
You didn’t even try. You jumped to a conclusion.
END taxes based on income!
Our Marxist inspired progressive income tax MUST be replaced with the FAIRtax!
The IRS mines our data for the bankers, insurance companies...and any other large organizations that can help the IRS seek out areas not yet “sufficiently” taxed and regulated i.e.raped in the economy.
Their goal is to leave the peons and peasants with nada..zip.
its the 21st century. Between tariffs and sales taxes, we can get the job done without poking through one anothers bank accounts, retirement funds and real estate holdings.
