Not that
world leaders and the rich are mafiosi, but everybody involved in offshore accounts usage
should be punished.
The system,
which lawyers, accountants and everybody involved with legal representation and
familiar with the law, had allowed plenty of the world's elite to stuff away
their money into companies and enterprises for lower taxes.
This is
"common practice" as seen by many rich elites and even some
individuals and groups in corporations and in the government.
The saddest
thing is that these revelations fail to provoke action from the public to
condemn these individuals.
The total
global wealth the elites have stolen from the government and the public is now
at $21 tn (£14.7 trillion). With that much money provided to governments or to
the public as per postulate of capitalism, we can build a better,
climate-friendly world.
But
instead, aggressive investments in environmental exploitation, even the
exploitation of the poor and innocent, have become the norm both over and under
the wraps. All because some few in the world, as the Panama papers evidenced,
wanted to have more for themselves and their families.
Indeed, man
is a greedy animal. And in the end, they would be stealing against each other
to be the one who gains more than the other.
