Owl: Why Won’t US Arrest Its Bankers The Way Iceland Arrested Theirs? 10 More Rothschild-Connected Bankers Arrested in London

Commerce, Corruption, Government
Who?  Who?
Who? Who?

Why Can't the US Arrest Our Corrupt Bankers Just as Iceland Arrests Their Corrupt Bankers?

Way to go Iceland! You are an example for all civilized countries to emulate:

“The truth of the matter is… No one, except the Icelanders, have to been the only culture on the planet to carry out this successfully. Not only have they been successful, at overthrowing the corrupt Gov’t, they’ve drafted a Constitution, that will stop this from happening ever again. “That’s not the best part… The best part, is that they have arrested ALL Rothschild/Rockefeller banking puppets, responsible for the Country’s economic Chaos and meltdown. Last week 9 people were arrested in London and Reykjavik for their possible responsibility for Iceland’s financial collapse in 2008, a deep crisis which developed into an unprecedented public reaction that is changing the country’s direction…”

Let's cover five indisputable facts about governments, radar and aircraft:

The Trillions of Dollars U.S. Companies Are Hoarding Overseas

And a tax repatriation holiday is no way to get them to bring it all back home.

The Atlantic Monthly,

There's a lot of cash on the sidelines, but those sidelines aren't in the U.S. They're overseas—in tax shelters.

According to a new report from ISI Research, U.S. S&P 500 companies now have $1.9 trillion parked outside the country. Now, some of that is just multinational corporations profits overseas—yada, yada, yada, globalization. But a big part of it is tax avoidance. Tech and healthcare companies in particular have created byzantine systems of subsidiaries to channel earnings from high-tax to low-tax jurisdictions. Apple, as you might recall, figured out how to legally avoid paying any corporate income tax anywhere on its $30 billion of overseas profits. It set up Schrödinger's shell company: an Irish subsidiary that didn't owe Irish taxes because it was managed and controlled from the U.S., but didn't owe U.S. taxes because it was incorporated abroad.

You can see how steadily these corporate cash hoards have increased in the chart below. As Dan McCrum points out, it follows a basic power rule: Just 45 companies account for 70 percent of this money.
