(174 posts)Since America's wealthy have 8 to 10 trillion dollars in the tax havens, we could give them 1 year to repatriate the funds, tax them at 35%, and put 3 trillion into the budget. That way we won't have to kill any senior citizens from starvation, or watch any children die from lack of medical attention. The filthy rich will still have 5 trillion left, and they won't even miss the "taxes" they should be forced to pay. If they won't pay, lock them up in Pelican Bay for life.
Hey Mitch, you pile of human feces. We don't have a spending problem, we have a lack of will to tax hoarders and corporations problem.

21 to 31 trillion in the tax havens, and corporations are sitting on 5 trillion in cash.
