A lot of this money has never been taxed nor is it intended that it will ever be taxed.<br /><br />I discuss this in my most recent post-<br /><br />http://the-mound-of-sound.blogspot.ca/2016/04/from-wikileaks-to-edward-snowden-to.htmlThe Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-17152502186631435752016-04-04T12:36:25.149-07:002016-04-04T12:36:25.149-07:00@ Lorne.

Now, more than ever, I can't see much hope in reformation. Neoliberalism metastasizes into illiberal democracy and oligarchy that cannot be sustained without a capture and corrupted political apparatus. We're in a struggle that we can't keep losing much longer before we lose it entirely. Trudeau, Ambrose, Mulcair - they're all deep in this.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-71919291649154362532016-04-04T12:26:54.936-07:002016-04-04T12:26:54.936-07:00No big deal here Mound, except that we now know wh...No big deal here Mound, except that we now know what we have supected for years - the rich guys don't like to pay taxes. This money apart from the criminally placed is legally taxed money that has been transferred from Canada, and other places. the trick for the CRA, and the Government is to have policies that will tax worldwide income - the interest on this money. Until this happens only public shaming of this will suffice.Ben Burdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06372169478978720740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-56365592925993890702016-04-04T11:37:51.077-07:002016-04-04T11:37:51.077-07:00To me, Mound, the real story here is what it says ...To me, Mound, the real story here is what it says about our various governments. The fact that in so many cases the the things being done here are simply an exploitation of existing tax laws tells us a great deal about who our rulers are really concerned about. Hint: it ain't us.Lornehttp://www.politicsanditsdiscontents.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.com
