    And of course, the party of cowards and cons, is opposing this 100%, as it violates the only principle they have, to make the rich richer.

    Now, the party of cons and cowards will deny and support torture at the same time, not admit responibility for wrecking the economy, economically redistributing more wealth to the superrich than ever before in the history of civilization, murdering 5000 americans for a neocon lie, and to top it off, voting for Caribu Barbie, the antiabortion trailer trash as a solution for all of the above. The leader of the party, Oxy Limpballs, is about to rupture his bleeding cyst, ranting about the patriotism of off shore tax free accounts to hide billions raped from casino capatilism out of retirement accounts of workers.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the party of cons, the repug slime sucking evangelical Teliban.

          The repugs when they were in control of congress even dropped sanctions against the overseas bank accounts in the Homeland Security Bill.... what pukes they are! They also included the prohibition to sue Ely Lilly for additives to children's vaccines in the same bill.... how low can they go?

          Hopefully this offshore tax excuse will not be the cover to hire 800 Gestapo agents to go after the individual taxpayer.

            Let's hope they go after the companies that recieved tax payer funded tarp and bail-out money who hid their assets in these offshore accounts so they didn't have to pay taxes.

            Citigroup alone had 427 subsidiaries in tax havens

                Why not just ask Democrat Gary Condit? He was there. Or have you forgotten the meetings that provided him with an alibi in the Chandra Levy murder case?
