It demanded, basically, that foreign banks withhold up to 30 percent of the income that an American abroad might earn. This bill isn't working so well because overseas banks are not cooperating (a state of affairs that was certainly expected).

This bill, in part, states that taxpayers with unpaid taxes over US$50,000 may find their passports confiscated.
