Hillary Promises To ‘Go After’ Cayman Island Tax Schemes

Hillary's new drum beat is to "go after" the evil money schemes nested in the infamous Cayman Islands.

She claims we now are in a position to get the tax avoiders back in the loop.

But it's strange because Bill Clinton himself has been directly involved with financial "schemes" connected the Caymans !!!

That must mean Hillary knows all about that.

So why is she flapping off about something like this?

Maybe because she thinks people will just ignore anything negative as "just another scheme".



Hillary Promises To ‘Go After’ Cayman Island Tax ‘Schemes,’ Though She And Bill Have Made A Ton From Them

Clinton criticized the use of offshore tax havens on Monday, even though she and husband Bill have been paid millions of dollars in investment income, consulting fees and speech honoraria from companies doing business in the Cayman Islands.

“We’re now in a position, I think, where we can go after some of these schemes that you did read about, the kind of misclassifying of income, trying to make it look like it’s a capital gain, when it’s really ordinary income, going ahead and routing income through the Bahamas or the Cayman Islands or wherever,” Clinton told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes during the interview.

Clinton’s public stance on the issue — which she has discussed in the past — and the private actions of her family seems to tie together something Vice President Joe Biden said Monday about the Democratic presidential front-runner and her campaign opponent, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Hillary made a promise? Or a threat?

Whoops…

Like she doesn't have Cayman Island accounts and Tax Schemes herself. Gimme a break.

Clintons Have Three Cayman Island Accounts

From Bloomberg:

Ron Burkle, managing partner and founder of Yucaipa Cos., left, and former President Bill Clinton, right, stand side by side during the 2nd annual Clinton Global Initiative summit on Sept. 22, 2006, in New York.
Clinton’s Burkle Ties Include Funds in Cayman Islands
By Timothy J. Burger and Ryan J. Donmoyer

Dec. 17 (Bloomberg) — Former President Bill Clinton’s decision to reconsider a business relationship with California billionaire Ron Burkle reflects concern those financial dealings may embarrass his wife’s presidential candidacy.

Securities and Exchange Commission documents and financial- disclosure forms filed by Hillary Clinton show that Bill Clinton, 61, has a financial stake in three investment entities registered in the Cayman Islands by Burkle’s Yucaipa Cos. LLC.

In 2004, Hillary Clinton, a New York senator, said she wanted to close the “loopholes” for “people who create a mailbox, or a drop, or send one person to sit on the beach in some island paradise and claim that it is their offshore headquarters.”

Well if any of the candidates are qualified to unravel illegal activity it is definitely Hilary. However, I assume she would just use this as a way of attacking her political enemies and not to actually clean up the system. I can't imagine she wants to end corruption since it has always worked so well for her.

I think Hillary is running a nazi-style campaign.

Always pretending to go after her own kind.

Lol, best of luck liar.

Labour tried to do the same and lost the election. It's a nice thought, but it will not happen.

Ok, it is me or this is starting to sound hilarious and an act of desperation, now, how long have the Caiman Island deceiving is been going on?

And now she the superwomen is going to do something about it?

Sure Billary, sure . . . be careful what you wish for because it can comeback and bite you in your rear end.

Yeah. Definitely NAZI style...Plenty of Clinton Monkey Business in the Caymans.
Wonder what her Monkey Boy husband thinks about it?

She should look in the mirror before "going after" anyone else!

Really, like she went after the Swiss???

n 2008, an American employee of the bank, working in Switzerland, revealed that UBS had thousands of US customers who had opened accounts to avoid paying US taxes. The bank signed a consent agreement in 2009, agreeing to pay a $780 million fine and give the names of 250 account holders. But the IRS was pressing for a broader disclosure—the names of US citizens who held 52,000 numbered accounts worth an estimated $18 billion.

At Clinton’s first meeting with her Swiss counterpart, Micheline Calmy-Rey, there was a list of pressing issues, several relating to Iran, where the Swiss embassy has represented US interests since 1979. The Obama administration wanted Switzerland to accept some Guantanamo detainees, to curtail business by a Swiss-based energy company in Iran, and to intervene on behalf of a US journalist detained in Iran. The Swiss government, serving as the political agent of the Swiss banks, wanted to curb the forced disclosure of information by UBS.

A deal was worked out. In return for Swiss action on its concerns, the US government agreed to a legal settlement with UBS that limited disclosure to information on 4,450 accounts, less than 10 percent of the 52,000 sought by the IRS.

I added bold for emphasis

I bet she "negotiated" on behalf of the "names" not released !!!!



a likely fish story indeed

Sorry, is this a joke?

Stop writing checks your ass can't cash Hillary, you wreak of desperation.

Lets see, after comparing these links, at least 3 of Hilary's top donors have accounts in the Caymans. Geez, who would have thought...

She's a pretty dismal track record of promises made vs. promises kept, just like most politicians...however, she's pretty good at side-stepping and inventing truths too.

She'll get to that just as soon as she and her cronies pull their money out of there and put it back into some other non-us banking system. lol

Politicians, most not worth the time to speak, write or type their names.

Lord have mercy, shes one to talk.

Another day, another Hillary Rotten Clinton lie. ~$heopleNation

Someday, I have a dream that the increasingly authoritarian left would realize that you do indeed catch more flies with honey and stop trying to grab every last red cent and force people into taxes. If you have to force people, maybe your tax burden is a bit much.
