Default Rich Tax Cheats Busted!

Hundreds of super-rich American tax cheats have, in effect, turned themselves in to the IRS after a bank computer technician in the tiny European country of Liechtenstein came forward with the names of US citizens who had set up secret accounts there, according to Washington lawyers investigating the scheme.

The bank clerk, Heinrich Kieber, has been branded a thief by the government of Liechtenstein for violating the country's bank secrecy laws.


He is now in hiding but scheduled to testify to the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Thursday via a video statement from a secret location, according to Congressional investigators.


Aides for committee chairman Carl Levin (D-MI) are scheduled to provide reporters with a background briefing later this morning in Washington on the committee's investigation of tax haven banks in Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

Let me get this straight.
You like the fact that these tax cheats were busted but you hate the Patriot Act?
Yea, I know this guy blew the whistle but the Patriot Act allows the tracking of such transactions coming from America.
You Liberals do not like the Patriot Act when it prevents terrorists from being funded but it's great if American tax cheats are busted. Hahahahahaha
Typical Hussein Osama supporters that hate Americans!

Americans are supposed to like the Patriot Act because it permits the busting of Tax Cheats?

What a fucking moron.

No, the Patriot Act is strictly to catch terrorists and thos that suypport them. As far as I know, officially that's all it's been used for. But maybe you know something different.

So we can all count on bush being areested as a terrorist supporter since he gave a gift of $42 million to the Taliban in May 2001. Just 4 months prior to 9/11.

This guy has to remain in hiding for the rest of his life. He may as well go for a sex change. But most people know the rich will never see punishment for what they do. It'll just be at a different bank. BUT WAIT... i remember its the antichrist getting ready for the one world money system.
