Quote:Yes but for a fact a liberal stance on narcotics does not cause more use of narcotics.
And my country is becoming more and more a christian conservative mess that I am not trumpeting anything anymore.:)
Making it illegal to put money away and don't pay taxes over will give the government of a state more income. And these things are in principle illegal....only hardly any actions were undertaken (indeed a bit like the dutch treatment of soft drugs:) ).
Contrary to people that smoke a joint for example (talking US now).
I think people that can afford a bank account in Switzerland are not the ones that have to worry about there freedom in general.

Anyway, a law is a law, and if something like this could lower taxes for normal people I think it is fine.
... or maybe "freedom" is that the government has no business knowing what you are smoking.
... and, maybe "freedom" is that the government has no business knowing every detail of your finances.

The problem that the US government has is that corporations no longer needke to be US based. Therefore, a US citizen can earn money from holdings outside the US, and if you have an account at UBS there is no way for the government to know if you pay your fair share of US taxes. In fact, it is quite unfair that the US government and many States demand taxes on foreign earned income. You see, you already have to pay the tax to the country where you earned the money, so for much of the EU it is quite steep. Then you have to declare that income as US income (if you have a home in the US), and you get taxed again. Then you declare it as income on your State income tax form and get taxed again.

The question is... What is the government's purpose? If it is "power over the people", then your attitudes are appropriate.
