It's crazy how lack of transparency and secrecy can allow a minority to use scheme to evade laws.
I once met a woman for some short class on business plans on zoom, and she was actually taught how to create a holding and the whole loophole package to optimize taxes. I asked about the morality of such thing, and I was shocked to realize she did not seem to care at all.
The banality of evil allows some people to just get access to an easier life by not caring.
- Rucadi 5y agoWhat it's inmoral is to pay taxes. In fact, evading paying taxes in a legal way should not be an excepction, but the norm. Stop romanticizing taxes.
- naasking 5y agoStop romanticizing stable societies? That's a weird take, but you do you I guess.
- HideousKojima 5y agoStable societies existed long before anything and everything was taxed.
- naasking 5y agoYou mean "tribes". Those aren't societies.
- TheGigaChad 5y agoI mean that you are a soyboy faggot, go and give 100% of your salary to the state.
- lbarrow 5y agoThe behavior of the people with multiple bank accounts in the article is both legal and perfectly ethical. Are you saying we have an ethical responsibility to pay as high bank fees as possible?
- Traubenfuchs 5y ago> I was shocked to realize she did not seem to care at all. I do not understand why you would personally care about profiting from tax fraud/optimization? I understand that it would be good to prevent this on a societal level, but no personally.
- hfjtn4ndkfk 5y agoMaybe we should start with making companies like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, ... pay some taxes before getting riled up about some individual using the same tax tricks.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoExactly this. They are doing that by the billion.
- White_Wolf 5y agoThis thing with bank accounts: Why wouldn't everyone do it? Why would I lose money that I paid tax on just because someone, somewhere decided that want to "encourage" spending? "Optimize taxes" - What exactly would be wrong with wanting to reduce the taxes you pay? Did you ever calculate how much you are paying % wise in taxes? If you add all taxes including VAT, fuel taxes, random taxes and such you'll be suprised at the % you get "the priviledge" to pay as an employee every year.
- TomVDB 5y agoBanality of evil is about ordinary people performing profoundly evil acts, like participating in mass genocide. It has nothing to do with the banality of legally optimizing your interest rate by opening a few bank accounts.
