If you are a worker, it is essential to protect any monetary assets you have in a tax haven.
The rich don't actually need tax havens that much, because most of their profits come from government subsidies or other money tricks and fakery. As a worker, you don't have access to free corruption money like them, so better protect what you have.
Tax havens are equalizers, just like people have called guns equalizers. It is much cheaper than what most people imagine to set up accounts and companies in tax havens, it is accessible for any skilled worker, unlike almost everything else that the elite gets to enjoy.

- carlosjobim 2y agoIf workers continue paying taxes to the elite, the situation will continue to deteriorate. We can pretend that your tax dollar goes to public services, when in reality maybe 70c on the dollar goes to corruption to benefit the elites.
