    Just heard something about a program of the IRS for those having offshore accounts to voluntarily admit these accounts. The offer apparently has an expiration date and was announced in the last couple of days but I can’t find anything on it.

    Since there are upwards of fifty thousand people possibly affected, you would think if the IRS is entertaining such a program that they would be publicizing it vociferously.

    I believe the IRS program is to root out any wrong doers under the veil of peace, then immediately lock them all up.
