I will never have enough money to even begin to understand these offshore tax-dodging schemes so fuck all of these people ESPECIALLY the ones who go on telethons and other charity gigs begging the middle class to donate.

EDIT: Shakira's boar story was totally released to bury this. Shameless.

While the rest of us have to pay taxes that we can hardly afford, these millionaires assholes evade them to hoard their fortunes.

Poor people do not do it lmao. Poor people cannot afford to do it.

poor people can't afford to. these richies have people on their payroll specifically to help them avoid their tax. if they got sued (which they rarely do) they can afford it.

Hard(er) to hide income, incredibly easy to hide wealth and assets.

The wealthy who wanna hide their income can also kick taxes on their income down the roads through taking stock options and doing deferred compensation.

Why is it not illegal?
Spain is coming for Shakira.
I mean, if most of these celebrities don't live in Panama, the countries where they live don't come after them?

I'm sorry, I'm dumb and poor, so I don't get it lol

its them probably storing their money in offshore accounts in different countries + probably using some tax loophole.

There are laws for each country, but in terms of international laws and enforcement of those laws, there are no governing bodies that can do that.

Hasn’t Shakira been fined already by Spain. She’s really testing them.
