2/10/07 Barack Obama announces his candidacy for POTUS. http://www.barackobama.com/2007/02/1...ck_obam_11.php
2/17/07 Obama co-authors the Stop the Tax Haven Abuse Act with Senators Levin and Coleman. http://levin.senate.gov/newsroom/release.cfm?id=269479
9/18/07 Obama speaks on tax fairness to middle class. Identifies offshore tax havens as problem. http://edition.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS...s.taxfairness/
"We've got a shift in our tax values that disproportionately benefits the wealthiest Americans; corporate carve-outs that serve no national purpose; tax breaks that allow companies to stash their profits overseas; a government that's paralyzed when dealing with offshore tax haven countries; an overloaded tax code that's too complicated for ordinary folks to understand, but just complicated enough to work for someone who knows how to work the system."
9/22/08 - Obama campaigns in Green Bay, WI and promises to shut down offshore tax havens. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...201500_pf.html
"And for all his talk about earmark abuse, what Senator McCain doesn't mention these days is the corporate abuse of our tax system - abuse that has cost far more than earmarks ever have. In 2003, loopholes and tax breaks allowed 28 major corporations to actually have negative tax liabilities. We lose $100 billion every year because corporations get to set up mailboxes offshore so they can avoid paying a dime of taxes in America. Imagine if you got to do that? There is a building right now in the Cayman Islands that is the address for 18,000 corporations. Well that is either the biggest building in the world or the biggest sham in the world, and I think we know which one it is. I will shut down those offshore tax havens and all those corporate loopholes as President, because you shouldn't have to pay higher taxes because some big corporation cut corners to avoid paying theirs. All of us have a responsibility to pay our fair share. That's putting country first."
Ending Tax Haven Abuse remains on President Obama's agenda for fiscal discipline.
