FROM UNDER THE PUBLISHER"S PALM....March 2008

We're right in the middle of the United Corporations of America Tax Season. It seems that rumblings and grumblings about the tax system intensify around this time of the year. If taxing is an art much like plucking a goose while causing the least amount of squawking, the taxpayer's skin must be a little more sensitive this time of the year. Whether legal or illegal, definitely an intense dialog for another day, it is a perceived reality that hits home with the US Citizen.
In that spirit I have included quite a few takes on the U.S. system of taxation in this month's issue. I've also sprinkled some travel articles throughout..
So, please enjoy this month's issue of Distant Shore Ezine. Please remember if you have an article or a view you would like presented email me here and submit your idea or article. If approved, it can be included in the following issue.

Offshore Banking in Colorado - USA? What? -The Fighting Knight

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this one:

From the article:

"One of two offshore banks in Colorado is going out of business.

Tuus Financial, founded in 2005 by local investment company Geronimo Partners, told state regulators it wants to surrender its charter. The state Banking Board, which regulates the industry, approved the move Thursday.

Colorado passed the foreign capital depository law in 1999 with hopes of bringing millions in tax revenue to the state. Nonresident noncitizens could put money in a depository, and it would be protected from foreign civil disputes. The state would collect a small assessment on the deposits.

So let me get this straight, The STATE OF COLORADO decided they would compete for offshore banking capital by instituting this charter that would protect foreigners from civil disputes ?

Are the Colorado legislators so naive to think that foreigners would bring capital into the USA which is almost singlehandedly whipping the rest of the world banking into abject servitude and wielding a crowbar to pry into everyone's privacy or in the alternative, hit you over the head with it if you refuse? And that the enticement of being 'protected' from foreign civil disputes is somehow the carrot that will create a flood of capital into the STATE OF COLORADO - USA at a time when the USA government is seizing and freezing foreigners funds if they get on the wrong political ticket or watch list?

Wow ! I couldn't believe this when I saw it.

Based on the article, looks like there aren't too many customers lining up and these silly bankers are going out of business.
