You Won't Believe the GOP's New Gift to Corporations

From Ring of Fire:

Republicans are looking to repeal the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which combats federal tax evasion via offshore bank accounts.

FATCA requires Americans living in-country and abroad who hold offshore accounts worth $50,000 or more to report their assets to the IRS. FATCA was signed into law in March of 2010 as a result of an international tax evasion scandal. Swiss bank UBS was found to have helped many wealthy Americans hide their money from the Internal Revenue Service in order to avoid paying their fair share of federal taxes. International tax investigators discovered that UBS, and other large banks Credit Suisse Wegelin, helped 17,000 wealthy Americans hide a combined amount of $20 billion.
