Sooooooo, let’s see if I understand this correctly.
If one earns $100 and pays the US taxes (income, payroll, unemployment, maybe HC, etc.), which is about 40%, $60 are clear.
When one sends the $60 to a bank account abroad, 30% of it, $18, is held by the government resulting in $42 reaching that account. Deduct currency conversion/fees/etc. and that person will be “lucky” to have $40 worth out of the taxed $100 he/she earned and paid IRS taxes on it already!
IOW, one pays 60% minimum, depending on the person’s tax bracket.
Soros shouldn’t be happy about this. Oh, wait a minute, it’s his agenda not 0kaka’s; therefore, a patriot like Soros must be exempt from this progressive plague.

Awesome post. Keeping that one.
“Never forget” takes on a new meaning.
Never forget who we are, what we believe, who’s counting on us.
Never again.
Also... Time to remember Winston Churchill...
“Maybe NOW would be a good time to look at how Mr. Dunham was never qualified to be POTUS in the first place so that every bill he signed into law can be rescinded.”
Yep.

Great post!
Many Americans left other countries to come here and be free of tyranny. Those are the people who won’t run again, guaranteed!
Enough said!
So what if a country like Switzerland still says no?
pinging sir drill
I agree. The goal is to make damned sure the United States is no longer capable of being a world power.
This debt is being piled up to hobble the U.S., even if good people do regain control. They’ll have to service that debt, with no income source, and so many dependents it would gag a healthy nation.
This guy has his knife hilt deep in the back of Uncle Sam.
Perhaps not, but let’s call it by it’s real name. No euphemisms.
1984 was never a blueprint to build society on.
In real life,any system based on this will end up like the Soviet union.Shattered to pieces within a few years.
“No euphemisms.”
I would be happy if this president allegedly so committed to transparency would simply own up to promoting “crony capitalism.” At that point it’s straightforward to explain that crony capitalism and fascism are equivalent. But until then, I fear that allegations of fascism simply will continue to be ridiculed by the usurper-in-chief and his minions in the MSM as self-evidently loony (not to mention racist).
I just can’t see foreign banks complying with this.
We are soon at the point where sane Americans are opening acconts with the Bank of China or State Bank of India - because they will be the ones most likely to tell the US Treasury Dept. to go to Hell.
[Thats Chicago politics. Its what you might expect from Obama, Emanuel, and Axelrod.]
And Nitti, Capone, and others.
When will it stop????
Anti-Obama, Oat Cell Sarcasm Torpedo . FIRE!!

NO Cheers, unfortunately.
This is *exactly what Hitler and Mussolini did. And the U.S. is rapidly approaching the level of government control of private industry seen in Venezuela.
I had a moment of clarity last night that really shook me - and it wasn’t the first time. Just the strongest. This is not a Sinclair Lewis novel (”It Can’t Happen Here”), nor a Bizarro World comic. It’s real. It’s here. It’s in OUR country. Now. And God help us, it’s going to be the fight of our lives to save the shining city on the hill.
I know the Founders may have been too modest to see what a brilliant collection of minds and hearts they were. Who’s to say that millions of Americans who see that we’re at this critical juncture in our history are not collected for a renewal of that founding? We CAN’T step away, turn away. It’s our obligation as Americans to preserve this miracle of liberty.
Now is not the time to be a “summer soldier or the sunshine patriot.” The statement upthread is exactly correct - the United States of America is the prize of tyrants everywhere. They can’t have it.
“If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth.” - Ronald Wilson Reagan
Excellent discussion going on here! Now, how do we fight?
Thanks.
