Obama To Introduce Crackdown Measures On Tax Havens

  1. Your right, penalizing those who are the backbone of America is clearly the answer. Those bastards who work hard, save, and provide jobs for others need to be punished.

    If they didn't work so much, they wouldn't make the rest of the lazy bastids look bad by comparison! If we didn't have these lunatic overachievers, we could rest in squalor in peace.

    Jerks. ;)

    I doubt if it would be bigger... and that's all small-fry stuff. Small business wanting to skim a couple of hundred even if daily.

    I knew a guy who did that.. doubt he had a zapper though... started a restaurant and skimmed $300/day from the get-go. One day he asked me, "what to do with the money" (several hundred thousand cash lying around his house)... LOL..

  4. They should start taxing all the phony "religious" organizations.

    Fat douche Al Sharpton has barely paid any taxes in decades all under the guise of his bullshit Baptist ministry.

    In the town where I grew up, some semi-jewish organization bought a massive chunk of land and they all live there tax free.

    Total bullshit.

    P.S.-- I'm all for legitimate tax deductions etc., but a huge percentage of so called "religious organizations" are nothing more than tax loopholes.

    The dems will pursue and harrass churches and religious organizations. I mean, they are dems, right?

  7. This is nothing new. Off shore tax havens do not exist, per the Patriot Act. Every dime you hide in 99.9% of the off shore tax havens are open to IRS and US Regulators.

    Lichenstien, is the only last true off shore tax haven. However, you have to fly out their, obtain citizenship, open the account.

    Tax Shelters put into place by "Regan" are still alive. Of course you have to invest in these shelters "Projects" in order to receive any Tax benefits agains your ordinary income. Thus, 100% of your investment dollars used in one of the many DPP programs are written off, as well as 15/20 cents on every profitable dollar after cash on cash return, is tax free. The remaining amount is taxed as ordinary income.

    However, there is one catch....you have to be a Qualifyed investor or you can't take advantage of these Tax Shelters.

    So, Obama is doing nothing more than what the Patriot Act and IRS have been doing.

    You better be more worried about the Nationalization of our Banks, Auto Makers and Obama's Marxist Ideas on Redistribution.

  8. Maybe in the first year, but not after that. I'm not a tax lawyer and I can already think of several ways to avoid paying anything at all in year 2 forward. Wonder how much it will <i>cost</i> the feds to recover it. Even if it costs them nothing (which it won't), the amount recovered pales in comparison to the welfare the feds are set to hand out.


    So far, everything coming out of the Obama camp will have the effect of discouraging investment in the United States and encouraging rich people to not only hide their wealth offshore (instead of investing it in the U.S.) but also to relocate themselves and their corporations offshore - ala Jim Rodgers.

  9. Specific examples of these programs? Searching DPP, Reagan and Tax shelter returns nothing. I'm not aware of any of these 'projects'. Any links please?

    Isn't there something in The Patriot Act about after January 1, 2009, you won't be able to leave WITH your money? Gummint intends to impose something like a 100% tax on your assets if you leave... ??
