Yes perfectly true. You can't open a bank account here without having to declare to fatca that you are not American. Fatca is all over us like sticky diarrhoea.

Oh but don't worry too much. They're not so much giving information as taking information.

You might be right, but from where I sit they seem dead keen to ensure that no American makes so much as a bean without declaring it to the IRS.

You're correct. Though its putting the cart before the horse.

The domestic tax code allows large corporations such as GE, to not pay a dime in Federal tax. Such should be corrected here, before going after assets abroad.

and so would be the case if the large corporations had not already purchased the relevant legislation.

The legislation wasn't purchased. It was the lawmaker that was purchased.

I don't keep up with pop culture, apparently.

I just found out who Justin Bieber was, 6 months ago. Damned Kanuck.

So... you missed Justin Beiber, the early years. His best days are behind him.
