since i am one of the three, please elaborate on those lost deductions and an additional 15% tax...I think your exaggerating but at the same time i am a blue dog so i might be on your side re: the deductions. Please convince me. I am not on your side re: 3% rate increase or 5% cap gains. Deduction elimination may do more harm than good if it hurts already hurting housing and charity industries.

Do you think that these nice people are on food stamps? UBS says 47,000 Americans had accounts 4 minutes ago (AP:WASHINGTON) UBS AG now says it had about 47,000 accounts held by Americans who didn't pay U.S. taxes on their assets, but Switzerland's biggest bank isn't providing the names of any more of them to the U.S. government. UBS official Mark Branson confirmed the figure of 47,000 accounts as of Sept. 30, at a Senate hearing exploring the fight over secrecy and alleged tax evasion. Branson says nearly all the accounts have been closed. UBS has accepted responsibility for helping Americans hide assets from the U.S. government and turned over the names of about 300 U.S. clients. But the bank is not giving the Internal Revenue Service, the federal tax collection agency, the names of all U.S. citizens who maintained secret accounts with the bank.
