Switzerland is not a country whose lead I would want to follow..
They prosper as a nation because of a banking system which does not care how much blood is on the money they receive. They will accept money from Nazis, dictators, drug cartels, tax cheats or any piece of garbage with dollar. They are as guilty as the people they protect.
I believe it is time for us to call them out. We should be putting much more pressure on Switzerland to turn over names of people who took money out of the country to avoid paying taxes. We should not trade with them and we should ask other countries not to trade with them.
During World Wars I & II they were cowards who profited from being neutral.
Why are we so soft on white collar criminals? I believe they do more damage to society than criminals with guns. They destroy trust in institutions that we rely on throughout society whether it is government, bankers, corporations, unions or Wall Street. Once trust is lost the whole system starts to breakdown.
