UBS tax evasion controversies

>The Swiss investment bank and financial services company, UBS Group AG, has been at the center of numerous tax evasion and avoidance investigations undertaken by U.S., French, German, Israeli, and Belgian tax authorities as a consequence of their strict banking secrecy practices. The first major tax evasion controversy the bank was involved in occurred in 2007. Bradley Birkenfeld, an American banker stationed at UBS Switzerland AG, broke Swiss banking secrecy laws to disclose client information to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) alleging suspected tax evasion.

I mean, it changed mine.

I genuinely didn’t know who you were, and if it stayed that way probably would’ve voted for anyone running as a progressive democrat if I saw them on the ticket.

I really hope I’m wrong about you, but nothing you’re responding in this thread is giving me any sign that i am.

Then again, I’m just one person in JC, which might not matter to you.

No, that’s the problem!

Most Progressives run on very reasonable and sustainable platform that includes most venerable populations but then a flaming clown attaches himself to the cause and starts flinging poop around on twitter.

Please at least consider looking into other progressive candidates’ platforms before you write them off as bunch of bozos.

He didn’t make that statement, straw man argument here.

You can make your presence felt to garner public support BEFORE announcing you’re officially running for something. The whole purpose of that is to hopefully gain votes for your eventual campaign.

So… the comment you’re replying to was a fair statement and your response was a useless deflection.

I cherish & enjoy nuanced debates on policy, especially housing policy. But a forum where anything I write will be downvoted en mass doesn’t seem to be a good place for that sort of discussion.

I sincerely doubt this one Retweet changed anyone’s opinion of me, rather it provided those who already hated me a reason to justify their disdain.

They are a private citizen and have as much right to be on here and on twitter as you and me, with all their dumbassery. Hector, on the other hand, is still associated by many with a Progressive cause and retweeting that dumbassey hurts the cause, which I don’t appreciate.

Now anyone that benefits from housing deregulation can screengrab this flaming pile of opinion and convince the undecided that Progressives are a bunch of militant ultra-leftists (not sure if that’s a right term) that try to set NJ on fire.

I personally know a lot of people that will be turned off from the Progressive cause, with all the good things that might come off it, if they think that this is what the movement is about.

The overall issue has very little to do with racism imo. It's more of having an issue with being "yimby" and "nimby" and how he wants to alienate many people.

Plus, I know the people tweeting that stupid shit and on this post here are also "non melanin " too. 😂
