The Tax INVERSION Con

Indeed, those that have more than enough to pay fair taxes pay little or mostly no tax, as their wealth enables the mega-rich to utilise various tax evasion structures which they invented for their own use, such as various no taxation zones [tax havens] in which the mega-rich register companies and thereby avoid local taxes. Which contemporary situation is the diametric opposition of how taxation was originally structured, ie, taxing those that have more than enough to pay higher taxes DUE TO THE FACT that the wealth created was/is derived from the nations in which everyone is supposed to pay fair taxes for the maintenance of infrastructure and general up-keep, which RESPONSIBILITY the mega-rich NOW shirk. The huge cost of these necessary projects now falls on the shoulders of those that can least afford to pay.

In other words, contemporary taxation laws have failed nations and their people by allowing the wealthy to avoid local taxes, notwithstanding that huge profits are made in local nations, FAIR? Not in your dreams! YET western governments do little to remedy these scandalous taxation avoidance schemes, which clearly require eliminating by legislation.

So chumps, me included, WE have clearly been conned and there’s no avoiding that FACT!

Of course the solution is obvious, higher wealth requires higher taxes (for the wealthy) as the huge profits made utilise national resources, including consumer markets, infrastructures, cheap labour, etc, which combine to fill to overflowing, the coffers of the already wealthy. However, all western nations today and their governments clearly serve wealthy minorities rather than average earning MAJORITIES. And therein lies the strength of TAXATION REFORM.

Simply elect candidates, even single policy candidates, that do not serve the criminal, PARASITIC, super rich corporations and other financial entities and the problem is well on the way to being solved.

Also, remember that only a few decades past the UK implemented a super tax for the super rich, roughly at 95% of earnings and assets, NOW THAT IS FAIR. But what happened? We know the super-rich via lobbying and other means took control of western governments, which today serve that minority. Nevertheless, a free-thinking MAJORITY could alter any social situation at any time, as there is no social force stronger than the overwhelming MAJORITY -- remember that reality at all times particularly when puppet politicians LIE through their teeth to sell the lie that the wealthy should be taxed less than low income earners -- CRAP, as would soon be revealed below.

Populations have at their disposal, should they choose to reclaim it, the immense wealth gained by UNSCRUPULOUS, tricky, wealthy entities that now avoid almost all local taxes. In other words return those PROFITS to the nations in which they were made -- THAT bloody SIMPLE; and do not fall for all the fictional narratives and discourse that states ‘we must allow the mega-wealthy to continue avoiding tax because they create (slave) jobs and higher living standards! Now, that BULLSHIT narrative is common to ALL western democratic societies today, YET NONE, absolutely no western societies, see increased secure REAL job creation or higher living standards -- in fact, the REVERSE occurs. Only the unscrupulous, parasitic mega-wealthy benefit.

So there it is in a nutshell; if you want a fairer system, implement it via direct participation in your respective democracies or via electoral representation by those that would REFORM the atrociously unfair, DECEITFUL system we have today and replace it with a much fairer tax system and tax LAWS with massive penalties for tax avoidance, and of course directly connect tax rates to wealth/profits by percentage. That way the rich get proportional taxation according to the wealth they accrue from nations.

The current situation of austerity for the majority and opulence for the tax avoiding rich, is nothing short of scandalous, it’s plain paper-shuffling robbery. EASILY FIXED! WE/YOU are the MAJORITY and that reality is POWER -- USE IT!
