rather than increasing our taxes or giving rich bastards (and you know who you are) additional tax breaks, why don't we go after all of the foreigners that invest in our companies but avoid paying our taxes?
of course, going after individual investors will be incredibly difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. in fact, let's face it - it's impossible. but we have another idea that might be easier, much less expensive, and more effective:
go after the banks that help them hide the money.
we know what you're thinking: that's just crazy talk! next thing you know, you'll say we should put bankers in jail for laundering drug money and fronting accounts to overthrow foreign governments!
