For the record, Paul jumped the shark a long time ago. But criticizing the US for going after tax scofflaws takes it to a new level.
I suppose next he’ll claim we’re spending too much money pursuing international investigations of murderers or child molesters.
He’s almost as nutty as Mark Sanford.
I have to up-vote you based upon nothing more than the screen name. Quality work, that.
He’s right about the gold issue. He’s half right about the tax haven issue. The US isn’t wrong in going after tax evaders but the way it does so to me suggests both corruption and soft imperialism.
Tax scaflaws? Least we not forget, All money belongs to Them. That is “progressive” elites attitude, and for now, They are Them.
And those child molesters? They all work for g’ment, that’s why violent crime is down, the lawless now all work for g’ment, so They don’t have any tax problems.
“Will The Swiss Get Their Gold Back?”
Let’s see, when the Germans asked for their gold back from the US government a few years ago, did they get it back?
No.
How about Ecuador when they asked for it back a few years ago?
No.
How about Venezuela?
No again.
That’s because the US government has stolen everyone’s gold. They don’t have it to “give back”. They leased it over and over again and sold a lot too and no one knows who owns what anymore. That’s why the Chinese are buying tons of gold with US dollars under the radar, in anticipation of the great default and why Goldman Sachs, the US banking proxy/hitman runs around making alternate deals with the whiners using printed up US dollars.
Maybe the charade will go on 3 months, 3 years, or 30…but it’s just that…a charade.
Just like the US government stole its citizens gold in 1933 when it couldn’t pay its bills, then again in 1971 when it closed the gold window and told other countries that $35/ounce was going away, it has now just outright taken what’s left and that’s why it won’t allow anyone into Fort Knox for a full audit, only partial bullshit without a full accounting.
So in summary, no one is getting their gold back from the US government.
They were dumb asses to store it with them in the first place. They haven’t balanced a budget for a long, long time…so what did these morons think was going to happen? They deserve to have it taken.
It’s like telling a bankrupt friend you want them to hold your family jewels for “safe keeping”, it’s pure stupidity.

Not if she’s hot.
Gold is really really heavy.

Not true. Wikipedia – In 1798, the revolutionary French government conquered Switzerland and imposed a new unified constitution. This centralised the government of the country, effectively abolishing the cantons: moreover, Mülhausen joined France and Valtellina valley, the Cisalpine Republic, separating from Switzerland. The new regime, known as the Helvetic Republic, was highly unpopular.
During World War II, detailed invasion plans were drawn up by the Germans, but Switzerland was never attacked. Switzerland was able to remain independent through a combination of military deterrence, concessions to Germany, and good fortune as larger events during the war delayed an invasion. Switzerland’s trade was blockaded by both the Allies and by the Axis. Economic cooperation and extension of credit to the Third Reich varied according to the perceived likelihood of invasion and the availability of other trading partners. Concessions reached a peak after a crucial rail link through Vichy France was severed in 1942, leaving Switzerland completely surrounded by the Axis. Over the course of the war, Switzerland interned over 300,000 refugees. ———————–
Beyond that the USA is not a Tyrant. It is enforcing it’s laws for Banks that use US banks for transactions, use US currency, have US branches or avail themselves of the US judicial system to protect their interest.
—– countries such as Switzerland which have gained the reputation of being “tax havens.” Remember that tax haven is just a term for a country that allows people to keep more of their own money than the US or EU does,”
Not true. Wikipedia –
United States (all levels) —26.9%
Switzerland ——- 29.4%
