    … when did Swiss banks become honest?

    edit: Maybe this is why repubs were going after the IRS so hard recently? Just to prevent this from proceeding? Still surprised to see banks cooperating though.

      This is why they have been attacking the IRs for decades. They have had to step up their attacks because under Biden they actually got more funding to go after tax dodgers. And it looks like they are starting at the big ticket ones from the looks of their records.

        … best piece of ammo to land in our lap since they took down Roe. Everyone hates corruption. And I mean everyone. Even the most corrupt people often rely on exhausting mental gymnastics just to avoid this one, singular idea, that they might be more corrupt than other people.

        But another piece of evidence is just that. And this one’s pretty big, “Swiss bank account” is common day language.
