Summary

This article is about not paying tax. Lots of people do not pay their taxes because the government does not use their money wisely. One of the other reasons is that the wealthy like to keep their precious money where it is safest and kept after the best in their own hand, not literally of course. There are even advisors who promote not to pay tax. Around the world there should be some money lying around, stored away in offshore accounts. The amount that is stored away is $21tn. If this would be in government’s banks we would not be in crisis.

To give you an impression how much this is: if it was denominated in $1 bills, it would fill nearly 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Opinion

Everyone has to pay tax. I don’t like to pay tax either but when we all make put in some afford in paying taxes it will not kill us. I can not imagine how people scam the government and not pay tax. I do not know how they do that and I do not want to know. We are part of a society and everyone in there has to pay his or her share. When we do that we can build new houses, roads and see to it that everyone has the same basis for a descent healthcare. Maybe this is the time for the government to do something about this scam. This is fraud on a large scale!
