The US is the top tax haven in the world.

You read that right.

The US is the top place to hide your money if you are a foreigner

Yet foreign countries are not rushing to change their laws to tax their citizens living abroad. There is no urgency to tax their expats who havent worked or lived back on foreign home for years, even decades.

So if nost countries have reason to complain about us helping hide stuff, they dont seem interested in enforcing anything



> they dont seem interested in enforcing anything

Or are not able to. Weather it's because of risking more people with money fleeing before changes take into effect, to much influence of wealthy people in politics or being forced by external forced, e.g. in context of not-so-public trade agreements.
