How the hell, did they come up with that number? If they don't know who's hiding the money how can they estimate the upaid taxes. Or maybe they do know.... maybe its the rich senators like William Jefferson who're hiding their money in offshore accounts. So all they had to do was go round the room asking all the senators and tally up the total. Divide it by 30% tax rate and they got their $100 Billion number!!!! :D yup, you’re right.
