The Georgia senate races costed $470 million in the regular election and an additional $360 million in the runoff. $830 MILLION DOLLARS were spent on 2 positions that pay $175k each. Anybody that thinks these politicians work for average Joe citizen is a fool. Most of us don't even know the game is being played.

Back to this issue of banks reporting transactions. I don't know enough of all this entails to form an opinion but I do know that if you have nothing to hide, you should not have a problem. And if you do have something to hide, you should damn well hide it outside of US jurisdiction because the government has always been able to find what they're looking for.
