I wish you would read what I actually wrote. I said you cannot campaign on it alone. Something can be done. It just doesn't win you an election. The German Social Democrats did kill the tax amnesty treaty with Switzerland. There has been no effect in the numbers.

But pointing out to the many that their foregone wage increases are happily residing un-taxed in numbered Swiss bank accounts might create some doubt about the wisdom and fairness of the current policies - who it really benefits and at whose cost.
