They ain't gonna do shyt because they are just as involved.
EVERYONE knew/know rich people don't pay taxes and they have tax havens...FFS is this the first time anyone's head of the Cayman Islands or Swiss Banks? I get that there's now ACTUAL DOCUMENTATION but this is akin to shock and awe striking the country if a check stub to a politician from a company were to be disclosed.

"Flew off the handles?" That says a lot about you. :camby:

The entire point is that now there is information to hold people to the fire with. Before it was just speculation. Everyone knows Russia is a plutocracy. But all those other places are not and this has the potential to be major.
Thing is in America, by and large most people still aren't woke or privy to the news
Meanwhile in pockets of Europe they're already forcing leaders out....

President Refuses to Accept Dissolution of Parliament

The meeting of PM Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson and President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson is over. The president just gave a press conference where he stated he had declined to accept Sigmundur’s request for permission to dissolve parliament. Difficulties within the coalition were apparent when the prime minister threatened on his Facebook page this morning he would dissolve parliament if the Independence Party did not have the courage to support the government in completing its projects. The crisis is the result of revelations made about Sigmundur's connection to a company in Tortola, which came to light following a leak of documents from a notorious Panama law firm.

In his opinion such a request could not be granted unless he knew there was support for the dissolution within both coalition parties. He said he was unaware of the Independence Party’s position. His plan is to meet with Finance Minister Bjarni Benediktsson later today.

Ólafur Ragnar said he wanted to find a successful solution to protect the reputation of the country.

Sigmundur would not speak to reporters as he left the president’s residence.

According to MP Karl Garðarsson, members of the Progressive Party were not consulted before the prime minister threatened to dissolve parliament.

RÚV asked the heads of all parties for their opinion of the suggestion of the dissolution of parliament. ”If I were a marriage consultant, I would say the marriage is over,” Katrín Jakobsdóttir, head of the Left-Green Movement said of the coalition government of the Progressive Party and the Independence Party.

When asked if the prime minister was trying to force the Independence Party to cooperate by threatening to dissolve parliament, MP Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson, the Independence Party, said “No one beats the party to submission.” He said the interest of the nation had to be a priority.

Birgitta Jónsdóttir, head of the Pirate Party, reiterated that the prime minister should resign.

Head of Bright Future Óttarr Proppé described the situation Sigmundur is in as an “ethical shipwreck.”

Some of these guys have a career in "anti-corruption" ...they are probably going to resign or be forced out.

UK Prime-minister has been trying to lead the anti Tax avoidance scheme campaign in Europe over the past couple years and its been revealed that his family wealth is in Panama but he has dismissed it as a "private matter".

The general public has to force them out because their peers wont do so, they are all in it together.

An underhanded attack on the eastern nationalists by the progressive globalist powers.

Somehow the united States and its underworld dealings are not revealed and the US gets away with everything again.

Who cares?

Pure greed (Selfish):snoop: It's the F'N law that's why you pay your fair share. Also, I can say if you don't want to follow the rules move somewhere tax-free (Outside the U.S.). I say, if we have to pay our fair share you are NO DIFFERENT:martin:

If we could come together to make sure corrupt officials wouldn't get elected, then issues like that wouldn't arise. We HAVE to vote in the right people for the job. That doesn't mean you shouldn't help stimulate the economy by paying your fair share.

That doesn't make sense. Someone who wants to keep the fruits of his labor isn't greedy. If you exert an ample amount of energy to generate income you deserve to keep that income.

Let's say I pay you $500 to build a website for me. How would you feel if a 3rd party came to your house and forced you to pay 20% of that at gunpoint? It's just that in the case of government they've managed to brainwash the masses into believing that they need government.

Bear in mind that the income tax didn't always exist. It's just that the government has become so large that they have to invent new taxes (new ways to steal from its citizens) to pay for their failed economic policies and feed into their unmitigated greed.
