Thread Name: BS: Poverty in the USA
Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
No, it ain't glasses.... I stick by the intent of my post which is to close down the "legal" tax loopholes that allows rich people to stash the cash in places like the Caymen Islands that is not taxable...

Not too many other ways I can put it... in 2006 over $1.3 trillion dollars were stashed away in these accounts around the world and that costs the US about "$100 billion" a year... Tell you all what... That $100 billion would go a long way toward funding the proposals I have made that would, in essence, end poverty for anyone willing to work plus bring our elderly poor out of poverty, as well...
