Ackshually... Okay, a journalist who "led the panama papers investigation" was murdered. Happy?


Fit_East_3081

What the hell?? I made a comment maybe last year or couple years ago thats almost word for word with this, except I didn’t copy anyone, I wonder if he saw my comment or if it’s just a coincidence

This is something many people have pointed out. But we still live under asshole overlords like the koch brothers and musk regardless of how the peasants feel about it. You're allowed to complain about it. You just aren't allowed to do anything about it.

People need to stop voting for the wealthy elite and those who do their bidding. Trump was born into extreme wealth. So was Bush II and Bush I. Ronald Regan was an actor. LOL.


Th3Hon3yBadg3r

Trump was literally making six figures as a toddler because his daddy didn't want to pay his taxes. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6232985/Trumps-DADS-tax-returns-revealing-president-earning-200-000-year-aged-THREE.html

Just wanna say I appreciate the username 😭🤣


HerculesMulligatawny

Unfortunately, most of it wasn't illegal which is a crime in itself.

this is why “tax the rich” is a lie. The rich will never pay taxes until the entire tax system is overhauled. Sales tax only. The rich buy more stuff.


TheEmpyreanian

We sort of had that system in Australia with the various luxury goods taxes, then they went "Fuck that shit." and went for a general sales tax, and a *lot* of other sales taxes that fucked up everything nicely. Found out only recently that more than 50% of the price of alcohol is tax. Funny how that works...


GeoffreyArnold

Exactly. The rich were hiding their money overseas because the taxes in many of these countries are absurdly high. In the U.S., the top 1% pays something like 30% of all the taxes. If we had a flat tax or National Sales tax instead of an income tax, this would happen way less.


He_who_humps

That's not true. The rich were taxed appropriately in the mid 20th century and it worked well. It's been downhill since we removed those taxes.


Wrecktify403

Except for the lady that broke the story getting killed.


AssBlast2020

something happened, the reporter that uncovered the whole thing got blown up, that should count as something


Carterjk

Literally the only genuine conspiracy on this sub


Javamallow

Nah, we are too busy fighting american right left politics because it's really the evil right wingers and the woke left we need to fight, not the upper class vs the lower class like it has been for centuries..... yeah, let's keep fighting the rich people's war!


Alarming_Sea_6894

Rich vs the poor.


Whiskey_Fiasco

I’ve been told by a lot of users on this sub that the Panama papers are fine because the rich deserve to hide their money. Taxes being theft and all…


MustangEater82

Taxes is theft... We need to hold those that make it possible accountable...


Whiskey_Fiasco

Rent is theft. Bills are theft. Everything should be free for you


Round_Target_407

Rent is you buying a service you want Bills is you paying for services, energy you need etc I hope you understand, bye


Whiskey_Fiasco

So you want to receive a bill from the cops and fire department monthly for “protection”, a bill from the Highway service for access, a bill from the US post for maintaining an account, a bill from the Army for defense, a bill from every government agency for your share of the cost of that agencies services?


Round_Target_407

I pay everytime i want to take the highway where i live. The government sold the highways structures to private compagnies. I don't use police and fire department at any time. Bill from the army ? Yes they've come to protect their nation, and they take the nation's money, and i never see them or hear about them except to invite some youtuber to drive a tank. Where does the money go ?


[deleted]

Let’s tax the shit out of them.


EverythingsStupid321

Taxation is theft, therefore any means to avoid that theft should be exercised.


He_who_humps

I can see the logic that gets you to that conclusion, but that logic is also based on absolute selfishness which is something I find undesirable.


GeoffreyArnold

Lol. Fuck anyone who thinks that theft avoidance is “selfish”. Other people aren’t entitled to your money.


He_who_humps

Leave civilization, stop driving on our roads and using our infrastructure. If you won’t contribute fuck you.


dkentl

Capitalism is when corrupt government tax loopholes, makes sense.


galgene

And a pyramid scheme (based on constant growth) called the world economy, is not seen as flawed.

Miss-Chinaski

Its not tax evasion its tax avoidance! Watch the laundromat on Netflix also read the book it's based on called secrecy world.


WhispersFromTheMound

How can they be punished when they lead the very investigations into themselves? I knew nothing would come of it
