FATCA is a blinding disaster that the 6th Circuit can’t see. So let’s help them.
**** UPDATE: We learned the the Sixth Circuit denied an En Banc Hearing September 27, 2017. So it’s on the the Supreme Court. **** The US 6th Circuit of Appeals dismissed the Rand Paul/Mark Crawford Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) lawsuit for a lack of standing, claiming that it couldn’t see the damage FATCA has caused. Yet we know the damaged caused is so obvious to everyone — even its supporters — that there has to be a logical way to explain the 6th Circuit’s massive failure to see what everyone knows. One theory is that the FATCA disaster is so massive, like a atomic blast, it temporarily blinds certain observers, making them unable to make use of their faculties. In this article, we will help anyone so confused to make sense of FATCA. We will focus on just one example, just one victim of FATCA, Donna-Lane Nelson. Ms. Nelson is a plaintiff in the FATCA lawsuit. She tells us her story in detail and talks about how FATCA robs opportunity from regular Americans every day.
