This Is The Voice Of The One Percent.
There is a humanitarian crisis looming, and we are deeply concerned and remorseful.
We understand that $6 billion in aid is urgently required .
Since we have trillions stashed away in tax havens, we wouldn’t even notice the loss of this insignificant sum of money.
In fact it’s less than what we should have payed in taxes by a considerable margin.
We have therefore collectively decided to donate this sum to humanitarian aid in the required areas immediately through the appropriate channels.
It’s the least we could do.

And that’s today’s news that wasn’t.

From Jack:
Just about every big business person I know now has got a “Charitable Foundation” or “Charitable Trust” so that he can give a few dollars away to the simple peasants (who think he is a good guy and not the criminal he is), and then qualify for tax exempt status. This system is rife now in both Australia and New Zealand confirmed by this report. There are some genuine ones of course, but most are simply tax dodges.
What a pack of mugs we are who are all diligently pay our taxes, while these people pay nothing!
