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

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

There is absolutely nothing illegal with having offshore bank accounts

As long as you pay all taxes due and you declare them on FATCA and FBAR annually.

That's what I do. My taxes are done by a reputable accountant (E&Y) and I declare all my offshore bank accounts annually.

"Top Sanders strategists acknowledged ... Sanders ... can't beat [Clinton]"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-clinton-sanders-debate-debate/2016/04/04/d48aef92-faa5-11e5-886f-a037dba38301_story.html

And Sanders, to his credit, refuses to attack Clinton on her character, which he would have needed to do to have any chance of winning. He has stepped up his attacks on Clinton’s positions, but his parries, particularly compared with those in the Republican race, are gentle. Sanders therefore can disrupt and annoy Clinton on her way to the nomination, but he can’t beat her.

Top Sanders strategists acknowledged as much in a New York Times article Monday by Patrick Healy and Yamiche Alcindor. They were quoted speaking in the past tense and lamenting what the writers described as “missed opportunities to run an aggressive political operation in 2015 that would have presented more of a challenge to Mrs. Clinton.” Sanders strategist Tad Devine said the “central complication with Bernie is that he never wanted to cross into the zone of personal attacks because it would undercut his brand.”



Here's the relevant article.

Sounds like a post mortem to me.

Could charitable donations account for Bernie's high itemized deductions?

Also would he be caught by the AMT?

When will the fat lady sing? My guess is in three weeks's time.

After that we can focus on defeating Trump!
