France’s former tax tsar admits having undeclared Swiss bank account

France’s former tax tsar admits having undeclared Swiss bank account. “The scandal has plunged the government into crisis. Seen as a pillar of the cabinet before his resignation, Mr Cahuzac, 60, was responsible for making drastic government spending cuts and leading the fight against tax evasion.” Sounds like he was leading that fight from behind, eh?

  • I'm sure our politicians would never do anything like that. Gawd, I crack myself up sometimes.

  • Another do as I say, not as I do left. With the recent "tax increase" in France, anyone else noticed all of the looney lefties from here hauling their asses and their money out of France? They too had the opportunity to show all of us knuckle dragers that they actually believed in their so call convictions. The only thing they proved was that they don't practice what they preach. Imagine that.
