They can run but they can hide also...

Recent reports show that the wealthiest people and corporations in the world are hiding up to $23 trillion dollars in off-shore accounts. Simply for the sake of tax evasion.

When countries, such as our own, are making painful cuts to programs that make our country better and safer, these outlaws are hiding their wealth in every hole they can find.

Do we have no leverage with these island nations that act as money launderers for the wealthy? Can we not make a deal with them so these outlaws will have no place to hide on earth? And their money and wealth should be held accountable to the people of their country. Their greed should not be rewarded.
