No, no! They said:
"Treasury takes this step in the interest of supporting hard-working American taxpayers and small businesses," it said, adding that it intended to issue a rule to narrow the scope of the act to foreign reporting companies."
Can't you read? /s
In a statement, the Treasury Department said it would not enforce any penalties under the act against U.S. citizens or domestic reporting companies.
Didn't they just announce last week that literally anyone can pay $1M to get US citizenship without having to do anything so bothersome as starting a business here or creating jobs?
Five million, but yeah
Then, they'll be American citizens who are also wealthy. They're very rarely criminals. Just look at their incarceration rates! Practically insignificant.
Never had there been a more obvious admission of guilt
Public came in, and they caught me red-handed
Working for the state next door
Picture this we were outright flagrant
Me supporting Russia's war
Putin is now laughing with his
Little Chinese buddy, Xi
All this time, they were plotting a
Geopolitical spree
But they caught me up in Moscow (it wasn't me)
Saw me tariff Nova Scotia (it wasn't me)
I wasted water down in So-Cal (it wasn't me)
They caught me on a recording (it wasn't me)
Found all my secret file folders (it wasn't me)
I'm an immune office holder (it wasn't me)
Watched my mob gettin' louder (it wasn't me)
Seems like they're a big pushover.
Ah, the party of law and order.
It's a dog whistle for punishing black and brown people, like everything else
Party then law, in that order.
