I am not sure what to make of this number and it's increase in the last 7 years from 11.5 trillion. Should it be taxable? By whom? Is this money working, aka contributing to the world GDP?

If I have an overseas business why should that business pay taxes in the US? You want me to invest in the US? Then lower the cost to do so. Not sure why you call the money untaxed as well.

I have to wonder at just how much of that money is really overseas versus just the bank that has it on its books is overseas.

If I have a billion in a swiss bank is that money sitting in Switzerland or, has the bank deployed the money around the world so that they can pay me interest.

Mostly this money is in financial paper and thus can evaporate like a summer morning fog.
