“Most Americans living outside the U.S. are not ‘tax cheats,’ ‘tax evaders’ or ‘traitors’ though they are often characterized that way in the media or even by members of Congress. Instead, they are honest, productive, contributing residents of other countries, which they call home. In many cases, they are also citizens of those countries. President Obama and members of Congress, how did the ‘simple premise’ of ‘cracking down on illegal tax evasion and closing loopholes’ become an attack on financial lives and personal integrity of millions of people living outside United States, their banks and laws and constitutions of their countries of residence?”
