True story...This past week I spoke with a hospital patient (male, approx 45yrs old) who told me he invests in Chinese currency because Pres Obama is destroying the US - his plans are to move his money from China to Switzerland so he doesn't have to pay US taxes. When I mentioned the US now obtains names of those hiding their $$$ in Switzerland, he seemed surprised - hopefully I didn't make his illness worse!
Along with hiding his money to avoid paying US taxes, he's been convinced Obama was not born in the US and when I asked him what the best/most reliable news source is, you know the answer - FOX. Of course he defended the tea party as being "a victim" of the media.
It was surreal to listen to an "adult" believe Chinese currency is safe and openly say he is planning not to pay US taxes, while at the same time criticizing Pres Obama. I've read about people like this guy, but never spoke to one!
