The Two Greatest Threats to the Banking Industry - Part II: Tax Reformation and Offshore Banks

To say the political landscape in the United States is tumultuous right now might be the understatement of the year.  Even with one party controlling both the Executive and Legislative branches of the government, the party in power has shown little ability to get anything done on their own stated agenda.  However, there is one glaring opportunity that most politicians will not be able to resist, and that’s the chance to overhaul or at least impact the U.S. tax system.
