I think off-shore accounts are tax evasion... then get off your dead ass and prosecute, sheepy.

Nitwit. Some offshore accouns may be used for tax avoidance. And some may be used for tax evasion. But your comment clearly shows you don't know the difference.

Now you're claiming the Clinton's had offshore accounts in fake names? Where are you getting this information from? And why do you think the Clinton's, who make millions each year, have a marginal tax rate of 29%? And yes, I think off-shore accounts are tax evasion... Ok, so you think the Clinton's are tax evaders ... like other Obama cabinet members.

I think off-shore accounts are tax evasion... Again, not necessarily, Shep. If you are a real wealthy person, I mean at least a couple of millions, it is indeed good asset protection policy to distribute your holdings onto several banks - in various good currencies in various safe countries. Interest on your asset at that time comes second to protecting your assets. Here Switzerland indeed holds a lead position. Recently, even for the smaller investor, currency fluctuations, which eventually are a function of the production of fiat money, has come up as yet another concern with consequences even for more moderate fortunes of say a million or so. T-bills isn't gold, Shep. And too bad, no T-bills come denominated in say Swiss francs... Sorry to say so, but those are facts. /Taro
