Comment on More from MEP Sophia In’t Veld today on FATCA by Victoria

Thanks, Chris, for crossposting. I tried to do it myself this morning but couldn’t get in. Not sure why. I would really appreciate folks spreading the word about the meeting. We are trying to get as many people to go as possible. I have no idea if we can get on the agenda or if there will be a real Q and A but we can talk to people before and after the meeting and try to get heard.

I have my train tickets for Brussels, I plan on taking LOTS of notes and I will post here and at the Flophouse about the meeting.

@St George

Thanks for your comment. This has been mentioned many times here and most have likely already signed. That list is what led me here!

Thanks for the link Just Me. After finishing my final FUBAR and some other small tasks, I am prepared to enjoy! (Sick, eh?)

You will be happy to hear the old fossil is retiring. He has done about as much damage as he can do… Of course he will re-incarnate as a Lobbyist…

I was actually grinning from ear to ear once I saw the video.

A 35% tax rate may as well be 100% if the money NEVER comes home. They would get far more tax revenue at 5% or even 10%, because there would be a lot more compliance with a reasonable tax rate.

And what the hell did Apple do other than be successful, and using legal loopholes that everyone else will use?

And yes, bizarre and Byzantine, indeed! It’s also no secret that the US tax code is by far the most complicated on the planet, and has been so since God knows how long.

Finally, damn right Congress should be on trial. How much effort has been wasted by these jerks with their show trials, and especially from their envy specialists and their drama queens? Carl Levin? Christ! Isn’t it time for that old fossil to retire? Clearly he’s going senile!

Per the earlier comment on this, http://isaacbrocksociety.ca/2013/05/20/opportunity-to-draw-public-attention-to-irs-ovdp-penalty-abuse/comment-page-2/#comment-351797, I would actually like badger to ‘cross-examine’ Mr. Shulman, Just Me. I do believe I saw willful deafness (and perceived entitlement of his position). I loved the Easter Egg Roll answer as an example of one of the reasons for his many visits to the White House.
