if we had a low flat, uncomplicated tax system we wouldn't have to worry about people going to other countries for relief.

Close all the loop holes. Add terriffs to outside buisness.

By the time these nimrods close these "loopholes" 10 more will open. Simplify the over 7 million word tax code and set a low fixed corporate tax and these idiots won't have to keep grandstanding on this issue. The comments about "hiding assets" scares me to death. How dare anyone want to keep there assets private! They should be sitting out there for every greedy trial lawyer to snatch at will!

if we had a low tax system here in the USA, everyone in the world would want to hide their money here.

Sam, you are right on.
our economy would boom if we were the "tax haven"

Tax Haven Abuse Act - Moving in the direction of tax fairness is not bad per se. The debate should include the means of doing so. We must debate the constitutionality of the use or misuse of certain factual presumptions.

The US is a no-tax jurisdiction for foreigners engaging in certain types of investments or business activities within the US. Other jurisdictions are only trying to be competitive by doing the same. Why is it OK for us to do it and other countries can't? That's not a level playing field. Double standards stink. Flat tax is not a bad idea.

The USA is listed as a jurisdiction of primary money laundering concern....instead of trying to bully other jurisdictions around and disrespecting international law, lets focus our efforts on taxing all of the money that's being laundered right underneath our noses?

if anyone could "hide" their money anywhere in the world that they wanted to without fear,there would be so much competition that everyone would have their money in their own country.(if their own country was not stupid and non-competitive)
