The latest news is that the Chinese are censoring the news of the Panama Pages Leak for the reason that their government leaders' families appear to be involved in tax avoidance schemes.Comment

Right, do you have something against personal responsibility? Being that you're so concerned about the welfare of other people, you and others alike should have no problem voluntarily pooling together resources for the few that are negatively affected in such scenarios.
Actually, most of these tax dodgers are responsible for employing so many.. You can blame the government for unemployment with minimum wage, regulations, etc..
Don't hate on them. Hate on the system that extorts you on a daily basis. They're the reason there're tabs in the first place.Comment

Right, so put up with everything and anything "they" (the 1%) feel like doing, regardless of consequence. You know, because the 1% are the KINGS of the World and we just live in it, right? Let them do ANYTHING because......why again? Oh right, my quality of life may change.That's right but the point is that whatever is left, you should try to encourage to stay not the opposite.
Look at what happened with HSBC over tax issues. They threatened to leave the UK for Hong Kong over the last two years - finally, when push came to shove and they were ready to go, the government caved in with some big concessions. Surprise surprise, HSBC has now decided to keep its UK domicile.
If you attack the entity, they just jump off the ship, its easy enough to do. So, inspite of all this media storm and posturing, don't be under any illusion about who's in charge.
Fucking really dude? Why not promote Trickle Down Economics? You know, where the rich keep all the coins and whatever falls out of their pockets and "trickles down" to the peons beneath them we should be happy with. Right?
My favorite expression: "Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining." THAT is Trickle Down Economics boy.My Affiliate Programs:

Absolutely not. How is someone responsible for their bosses not paying taxes, moving their job overseas, paying minimum wage?Right, do you have something against personal responsibility? Being that you're so concerned about the welfare of other people, you and others alike should have no problem voluntarily pooling together resources for the few that are negatively affected in such scenarios.
Employing people in the Far East. Yes we can blame the Government for signing trade deals that made the West a bad place to manufacture but a great place to sell.Actually, most of these tax dodgers are responsible for employing so many.. You can blame the government for unemployment with minimum wage, regulations, etc..
Do you mean the system the Governments created?Don't hate on them. Hate on the system that extorts you on a daily basis. They're the reason there're tabs in the first place.Comment

Around here we heap a good percentage of blame on unions. They forced the wages to become so outrageously jacked the companies said 'fuck it...we can no longer compete' - and closed/moved shop.Comment

That's actually at the crux of the issue. Who gets the money, the owners or the workers? (The Owners always get more anyway, just how MUCH is the point.) And, in the end, the Government (theoretically "the People") is the only entity that can keep the balance. If the answer is "the owners" then we have what we have now. If the answer is "the workers" then we have Communism.
It's the dynamic tension between the two extremes that is the only answer. Yet that takes diligence, fortitude and keeping corruption at a minimum. Good luck there. LOLMy Affiliate Programs:

I never claimed anyone was responsible for any of that. You were making the claim that we need taxation because police, ambulance, fire and if it were privatized, some people wouldn't receive said services. And I said you're right, and what's wrong with that? If you care about people who didn't pay in advanced, help them out voluntarily.
People would wise up real quick once they realized they weren't getting said services for free (tax payer subsidies).
Of course it's the government's fault. These US businesses don't have some sort of weird hate for the US. Generally speaking, successful business men are smart, and will do business where they can make the most profit. This doesn't make them bad people.
Yes. I've got 99 problems but capitalism isn't one of them. The other 99 problems can be attributed to the state.Comment
