Many Canadians/Mexicans who live/work in the US have offshore bank accounts in their home countries

[hill2016]

There's nothing remotely illegal about having offshore bank accounts.

1. What is your point?

Are you doing some pre-damage control here?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

3. Are you preparing us for something?

I haven't heard anybody talk about Hillary Clinton in regards to offshore accounts yet.

[awake]

5. hill2006 may know something we don't

looks like trying out a defense to me. By the way all offshore bank accounts and investments have to be reported to the US government every year.

[closeupready]

20. I thought the requirement was only accounts valued at US $10,000 or more?

Did they change that?

[awake]

21. that may be correct

[Ash_F]

4. You know when you make comments like that with that Clinton avatar...

...you are not doing her any favors.

[Bluenorthwest]

13. I do not believe this poster's intention is to do Hillary favors...

22. You get that impression, too?

I've long thought that myself.

6. And This Years Award for Most Conflated Goes To...

HILL2016!!!! WOOHOOO!!!

Let's give Hill2016 a big hand for the most conflated idea ever proposed!

Congrats Hill2016... You've earned it!

7. Testing talking points?

[whatchamacallit]

8. Are you either?

Is that the explanation for all your offshore accounts?

[Sky Masterson]

9. Are you secretly working for the sanders campaign?

Because your arguments aren't helping The Bosnian Sniper Fire survivor.

[Armstead]

10. Yes those Mexican low wage workers who wire money home....

are just like MegaBillionaires who park their money in overseas tax havens.

Things get more ridiculous every day.

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. I bet you get lots of PMs from Castle Bansalot.

And I bet most of them say "Dude! Shut the fuck up!"

[whatchamacallit]

17. Lol I imagine so

[awake]

12. Offshore bank accounts in and among them self are not the problem

The problem is when one does not report them to the US government every year. Also not reporting ones total income from all sources even offshore bank accounts or investments is a big IRS violation.

[geek tragedy]

14. why are you posting this in the presidential primary forum? nt

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

16. As someone told me...

It seems like they are a Clinton operative testing out new lines of defense for the impending release of American data from the Panama Papers.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

15. You've already posted this thread. No one believed you the first time. Why the spam?

[whatthehey]

18. Offshore accounts are no problem. Offshore companies are a bit different

I have a Mongolian savings account myself. I am in fact a many times multimillionaire in tugrik terms. All not just legal but perfectly transparent. What I don't have is a shell company set up there or anyone else to funnel income and expenses through. I'm just getting a bit more than the fractional interest rates of US banks, at the risk of currency devaluation.

[beedle]

19. I think hill2016 is implying

Hillary is a Canadian and Bill is a Mexican?

[awake]

23. Are you talking about the Canadian Ted Cruse who "who live/work in the US"?

[jmg257]

24. Oooookaaaay...(NOW can I borrow some money from one of yours?)

How many Canadians/Mexicans who live/work in the US and have bank accounts in their home countries are some of the world's most powerful people said to have used offshore bank accounts to conceal their wealth or avoid taxes?

[TSIAS]

25. K & R

Just because I felt bad this had no recs. I guess not even the most ardent HRC supporters like offshore bank accounts.

[Marr]

26. Wow, straight to justification this time?

Not going to waste even a minute or two on denial?

[Kelvin Mace]

27. I do get the feeling some people are priming the pump for a revelation

that will look very bad.

In the mean time, are you seriously comparing immigrants working 2-3 jobs to send money to their bank at home for the benefit of their family, to people who stash millions in a shell company?

[catnhatnh]

28. Wait-Did Donald Trump dig canals on both borders???

Because otherwise Mexico and Canada are on the same shores we are...

[Nanjeanne]

29. Great. Let's not have Canadians or Mexicans living here run for President.
