Once Neutral Swiss Declare War on United States
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is demanding that Switzerland end its centuries of bank privacy so Barack Obama’s administration can snoop through the bank records for shits and giggles to see if rich Americans are hiding money from the IRS there.
Tax Cheat Tim Geithner has no problemo not paying his own taxes, but now that he has the power of the US Treasury behind him, he’s all in for threatening and punishing any non-Democrat tax dodger. Let’s hope the Swiss tell him where to piss.
Reuters reported: “The right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP) called on Saturday for retaliation against the United States over a U.S. tax probe into the country’s biggest bank UBS that threatens prized banking secrecy…Switzerland should also reconsider its policy of representing the United States in countries where it has no diplomatic presence, the parliamentary SVP said in a statement.”
How bad is Geithner? Even Obama head cheerleader Chris “My leg is tingling” Matthews on MSNBC observed of the head of the United States Treasury, “He seems like Barney Fife to me.”
