Exactly.
It is everyone's patriotic duty to do everything in their power to pay as little tax as possible. No Governement should ever feel that it should be doing anything less than crawling on its knees to its citizens for tax revenue.

| I hope this tax haven witch hunt back fires and send the most productive and the richest to move their businesses to Switzerland and completely sidestep the need to move capital out of these high tax states' jurisdiction. As long as national sovereignty stands, there's no amount of international regulation that can force the Swiss to up their local tax rates. | |

The problem is that so many of "the rich" aren't rich because they're "productive", they're rich because they're crooks.
