10. The Swiss are at the forefront of economic warfare with the US. When do we send the Cruise missiles?

Isn't it interesting where we use our military might? We go after the places that have lots of oil and other resources. But look at what Switzerland has done to us. It is estimated that Americans are hiding more than $30 TRILLION in money hidden from taxes -- flat out tax evasion. And a pig chuck of that is undoubtedly harbored by Switzerland. I haven't seen any reliable estimates of what that costs the Treasury, but it seem reasonable to expect the Swiss-based tax evasion has cost the US Treasury at least 2 0r 3 TRILLION in tax revenue.

Yet nobody ever would think of invading Switzerland!? Why is that?

Put them on the list of state-sponsored terrorists -- economic terrorists -- until they shut down all these criminal operations and give us the names and bank balances for ever one of those tax cheats.
