Or you know, we could solve this by becoming rich ourselves.

Im still in favour of bringing out the guillotines.

That's wasteful though there are plenty of room for labor camps

Its simple guys, all we have to do is lower the taxes they don't even pay and it will get better.

Tim Cook quote from fortune.com : “We do not depend on tax gimmicks,” Cook said. “We do not stash money on some Caribbean island.”

LuLz, fucking lying sack of shit. /facepalm

It's mostly those Europeans enjoying all those social services they have over there stashing their money on Caribbean islands so they don't have to pay for those services.

He didn't lie. They stash it on some English Channel island.

Jeeze.

If everyone gets rich, then no one is. Just saying.

This is the possible difference...

The internet may have its faults, huge ones, but one thing it makes possible is communication between individuals the likes of which the world has never seen. And while they, the powers that be, keep trying to cage us into protest zones and censoring us online, or even by trying to stop net neutrality...I remain hopeful that the internet will continue by a variety of means that will simply mean that each and every attempt to control this level of communication will be routed around as anathema to a free people eager to share ideas.

Whether its the reveal That War is a Racket...
Or the Pentagon Papers...
Or Watergate...
Or the Chicago 8...
Or Cointelpro...
Or Project MKUltra...
Or the Iran-Contra Affair...
Or the Savings and Loan Crisis...
Or Jeffrey Wigand...
Or Mark Klein...
Or Michael G. Winston...
Or Chelsea Manning...
Or Edward Snowden...
Or the Panama Papers...
Or ... ?

People might eventually wake the fuck up and and actually start using politics to make this a better world for everyone in it, and not just the few incredibly corrupt groups that are currently in control.

I don't think this will happen in my lifetime. But maybe the next couple of generations can be less tolerant of the stupid and make a change.

We are well beyond the point where "gentlemen must agree to disagree" and we are squarely at the point where some people are openly and brazenly gaming the system to their advantage and should be held to account. But how long will it take...?

I don't know about that, the new generation pretty much only gives a shit about phones, sneakers, and free healthcare.

[Easo]

Relatively little came out of Panama Papers. Sure, investigations are still ongoing, but overall... Not much.
Probably the same will happen again. Apple will weezle out for sure.

My own country (the Netherlands) is making a nice amount of money as part of tax evasion schemes so I rather have these international tax routes untouched.

[Keosen]

Capitalism: Where asking for a minimum wage is a no-go but tax evading billions of dollars and essentially stealing people money it's a norm.

[tehealadin]

Nothing will happen, I don't even see the point in releasing them. It is especially annoying when you see the likes of Lewis Hamilton, who benefited (and his family) from state education, the NHS, doing his upmost to avoid paying into the system that he has had benefits from.
