He's not the only one. Today I saw Mister Civil Rights Liberal, old
Senator Chuckie Schumer holding a news conference trumpeting his plans
to force bank/tax haven countries like the Caymans to open up their
banking records in the name of fighting terrorism, while he also
admitted that most of the 4.7 trillion dollars in such accounts is owned
by peaceful people who are simply avoiding taxes, but he says that he
considers such people criminals too, and that their property in such
accounts should be seized to pay the taxes they 'owe'.
