I am interested to hear why everyone should avoid taxes, that pay for the infrastructure and wealth of the general public.
I am really not advocating insane tax rates but you would think that persons or companies that profit extensively from the wealth of certain nations are willing to do their part in maintaining said wealth.
What about usage of our streets? Thousands of Amazon delivery trucks roll over them every day. They are not paid for by tax avoidance.
Besides all that I agree that especially the governments have to do a better job to avoid tax avoiders. A conscious customer is a nice thing but is too idealistic to solve anything and will never reach critical mass.
- TheSpiceIsLife 5y agoBecause giving money and power to politicians is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. Politicians and bureaucrats spend other people's money spent on other people. Too right I'm only going to pay what's legally required of me. Today, here in Australia, and I believe the story is smiliar in other wealthy nations, government spending needs more scrutiny in an effort to be more efficient, rather than more tax income.
