President Barack Obama on Friday called on Sen. Rand Paul to drop his “quirky” objections to pending international tax treaties so they can move forward in Congress.
Obama said the treaties will help U.S. authorities investigate and crack down on offshore tax evasion.
Paul has argued that they would infringe on Americans’ constitutional right to privacy because their tax data and personal financial information would be shared with other countries. Treaties cannot go into force unless ratified by the Senate, and the objection of any one senator halts action on legislative business pending in that house of Congress, as Paul has done in this case. …

obstruct away good sir !
Either they blackmail him with some dirt so he see things O’s way or or he will end up dead of natural or accidental causes. Can’t have any pesky congressman holding up treaties.
Thank you Sen. Paul
At least one republican in the Senate understands what he was elected to do.
The function of a citizen is not the fund their government.
So-called “progressives” are vile.
Cue the flood of hit-and-run posters calling Rand Paul nasty names.
He needs to be skinned salted and hung from a lampost
“quirky”
What a snarling priss Obama is.
“...investigate and crack down on offshore tax evasion...”
Arrogant and twisted dictators like Obama think that NOBODY runs away from their treasonous overreach of excessive confiscatory taxation and regulation.
Tell ohole to fuch off.
Just more American sovereignty on the line with the Globalists. I want Obama tried and convicted of Treason!
Stay strong Rand
Too bad Ted didn’t file an objection
Hell no.
There's already the KnowYourCustomer law that was established to:
“prevent banks from being used, intentionally or unintentionally, by criminal elements for money laundering activities.” as well as the Enhanced Due Diligence part of the Patriot Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_your_customer
What is so different that the new bill requires separate legislation?
Paul is a pesky Senator.
I want him tried, convicted, and executed for Treason! There is no statute of limitations for Treason, President Trump!
Oops I stand corrected.
Hold the line Rand! Don’t feed the Beast!
