I watched the Panorama program about the documents that have been uncovered. It was largely centered on the UK, it did expose a Russian musician and friend of Putin who is fronting a company handling 100s of millions of Dollars.

It also exposed a person who was being paid by UK taxpayers to build a hospital and pocketing millions of Pounds, criminals hiding the proceeds of crime, businessmen hiding profits and hiding the money in Panama.

After the wars in Afganistan and Iraq who got the contracts to rebuild what was bombed and where is the money?

Trickle down only works when the money stays in the country and taxes are paid on it. As for providing jobs, if the rich did that in the countries they rely on for sales. There would be a lot less Dindus.
