Reading the posts from you liberals and same in your leftis media one (is taught to) get the idea that Swiss accounts are used primarily - or even exclusively - for tax cheating and asset hiding from IRS and other authorities. That is not the case. In particular large professional investors and public figures like career politicians, who understand that transparency is everything to their long term success - and don't count Obama to those - use Swiss accounts for everything but tax cheating and other unlawful practices. I - and many more with me - admire the Swiss for their historical neutrality. Very similar to the Swedes, by the way. And yes, being neutral around say 1935 - 1940 did indeed include catering to 'both sides'. And yes, quite of few leading US citizens later jumping on the 'right band waggon' (partially forced to stop doing business with the Nazis only by decretes of FDR, Silesian coal mines, their transportation services etc. ...) took on that same 'neutral' position as long as it wasn't clear to everybody, that the Nazis would eventually lose the war. /Taro
