Elizabeth Warren: Hypocrite.

Evidently today, Senator Elizabeth Warren, (D-MA) lambasted the CEO of Wells Fargo in a blistering diatribe.

@SenWarren have you taken a look in your mirror after you lambasted the Wells Fargo CEO. Those same words can apply to your position- #FATCA May I remind you of the letter you sent out to an expat explaining your party's search for the elusive $100B tax cheats.

“I recognize that FATCA implementation has not been perfect(author's note: yet they still go ahead with it), and it troubles me that financial institutions overseas would deny services to Americans out of concern over FATCA compliance. However, according to the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, the U.S. Treasury may be losing more than $100 billion in tax revenues every year as a result of offshore tax havens (author's note: unadulterated, unqualified falsehoods - read as complete and utter bullshit). I believe measures like FATCA clamp down on overseas tax evasion and help make sure that everyone pays their fair share of taxes. (author's note: read that as scam more money out of people who don't derive any benefit from the United States)”

You said to the Wells Fargo CEO: "You squeezed your employees to the breaking point so they would cheat customers and you could drive up the value of your stock and put hundreds of millions of dollars in your own pocket.". Well, You and your Democratic cronies squeezed expats of modest income to the point where they felt that they had no choice but to be extorted into financially breaking penalties or into the arms of the gratified compliance condors who waited to pick over the remnants of any finances that were remaining. I'm sure you won't turn down that fat paycheck of yours or any fat increase in pay if budgeted in next years fiscal budget, will you? Perhaps a look in the mirror will show you your hypocrisy but then again, I'd bet on a civilization-ending meteor striking earth before you came to the conclusion that you were wrong.

"And when it all blew up you kept your job, you kept your multimillion-dollar bonuses and you went on television to blame thousands of $12 an hour employees that were just trying to meet cross-sell quotas that made you rich". - Oh, I'm sure you will continue to blame the expats for the fact that you cannot find the elusive $100B in unpaid taxes that are reputed to be floating somewhere offshore while YOU keep raking in your substantial paycheck for being a non-contributing windbag in a House of windbags.

YOU...ma'am, are just as much a bloodsucker as the Wells Fargo CEO. FATCA is a scam, selling lies to Americans about fake billions of offshore unpaid taxes: You should take your own advice to Stumpf - "This is about accountability. You should resign. You should give back the money that you took while this scam was going on…This just isn't right."

I won’t go into the “fair share” and other bullshit because you know very well that there is no fair share paying taxes to a foreign country from whom you derive nothing. And since this cold is already driving me up a wall, I have no desire to throw up today.
