This is hilarious. It is an article written by Michelle Malkin author of:
Culture of Corruption: Obama and his team of tax cheats, crooks and cronies.
Why Do Democrats Hate American Manufacturers? – Michelle Malkin nationalreview.com/articles/34127…– This is hilarious!

For those who are not Twitter literate read it here.
Not sure whether to laugh of cry. The U.S.A. is in serious, serious trouble.
Michelle is a clown… 🙂 Never take her seriously. Although she is not quite as bad as Ann Coulter, who calls Libertarians pussies…
All these so called Conservative women are just part of what makes up entertainment on U.S. media, and frankly, IMHO, do not help the fiscal conservative cause. They try to offend, rather than build bridges to their opposition on subjects of mutual interest, which should be FATCA. In the words of one of my favorite “Book of Morman” songs, Turn it off! At least that is my approach when I accidently see them on TV ranting away in a partisan tone being as offensive as they possibly can to gain ratings and make money 🙂
The only smart Americans left, it seems, are the ones who are getting out. The U.S. is absolutely hopeless.
Yeah, like anyone ever bothered to give a shit when American manufacturing had been in decline for decades. But, now that it’s about guns, we’re suddenly supposed to care?
Oh, cry me a stinking river!
Want to know what I care about? Keeping these damn guns out of Canada so we don’t follow that same violent road as those idiots down south!
Great Now we’re supposed to support the right wing gun nuts!!
Stop with the right-wing posts and keep to the issue of Americans abroad.
Not related to this post but haven’t yet tried to find out how to make a new posting here.
Interesting article today in the hightly respected NZZ newspaper. It is not new that the banks are planning to deliver all financial data on US persons to the IRS. What surprised me is that they will also
– deliver it automatically to a corresponding US bank
– deliver it to any third party of its choosing
– US person must sign waiving any rights
– The signed document is for life (unlimited date)
Below is the article in German:

@Deckard1138
Are they even bothering to rearrange the deck chairs of that sinking ship anymore? Now, it seems that ‘sequester’ is now the buzzword being pitched around while both parties continue to fiddle while Rome burns.
@KalC
We could use this kooky right wing post as one of perhaps many reminders as to why we all left in the first place.
I know that politics was the biggest reason why I left, but in my view, it was basically extremism, stupidity, hubris, and an apparent failure of the two party system, hopelessly corrupted by money an influence, for my leaving.
Right wing posts? It’s only a symptom of something much larger and more fundamental, and we must get beyond that shit to even look at the problem.
@Dax, Just Me, Last I checked it wasn’t an Asian conservative woman that foisted FATCA on the United States, nor recommended that expats join the OVDI. It was a left-wing president and his democrat Congress that foisted FATCA on the world. This is issue isn’t about right-wing or left-wing, I agree, but it is not our editorial policy to “stop with right-wing posts”, when indeed they relate to our concerns. The culture of corruption in the Obama administration is indeed pertinent, as the tax cheats and the corrupt bureaucrats are the ones persecuting us. May be you didn’t see it coming: but every left-wing government, when it runs out of other people’s money, will eventually lead to these sorts of capital controls as money searches a place where it is welcome. Where does it go? Well, it goes from California to Texas not the other way around. Eventually, the matter concerns freedom or statism. That’s why I am a libertarian because I wished to be ruled neither by statists on the right nor statists on the left.
As for Malkin being a clown, be careful not to fall into the knee-jerk trap of sexist racist comments that float across the internet against Malkin because she is an outspoken Asian conservative.
Left wing, right wing, chicken wing! Obama is no messiah, either.
But both parties were complicit in bailing out the goddamn banks when they crashed the damn party back in 2008! They should’ve been left to fail in my view! Why the hell should these assholes be put on a pedestal, to be throwing good money at after bad? What is the point of capitalism if nobody is going to allow it to work?
Clinton deregulated the banks. Bush put onto the credit card two bullshit unfunded wars, and an Orwellian police state at taxpayer expense. The banks were bailed out with bi-partisan support, right after they had a ‘no’ vote on it. Again, at taxpayer expense. Follow that up with Obama and the ever growing police state under him, FATCA at us, no prosecutions to any of those that sunk the fucking economy on OUR dime, and no indication of them in government taking ANY accountability for their actions!
Wake up! These guys are not our friends! They are aristocrats! They don’t give a shit about the people they’re supposed to represent! Period! We’re tax chattel! Nothing more!
Left wing, right wing, it’s the same damn bird! If only it was a chicken, I’d say, “Let’s wring its neck, pluck its feathers, and deep fry the damn thing!”
It’s a demorepublican dictatorship regardless of which puppet the lemmings vote for.
@Southerner, well back in the days where I used to be a US person in Switzerland, I didn’t mind giving my data to people, but it was I who chose whom it was given to. I’m under the impression that Switzerland got a pretty crappy deal.
Well, I have an opinion, but Mark Russel said it best while referring to Walter Mondale: 2 Words that can’t be used side-by-side: Norwegian / Charisma. Same lesson for: Good / Government
Evidently Malkin thinks she’s Caucasian. I guess she hasn’t looked in a mirror lately. BTW we, Asians, disavow her too. She’s isn’t typical of right-wing politics, she’s just nuts…PERIOD.

@Mike Tarantes Re: FATCA blowback
FATCA is so obviously F&C%ed, there is no way it will survive.
In addition, something good may actually come out of it – the end of citizen-based taxation.
F***ed yes, but I wouldn’t underestimate the power of American hubris. But there could be some hope.
As for citizenship based taxation however, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
