A good method

The German secret service (BND) has paid a Lichtenstein’s bank employee to give the data of 163 German tax dodgers. Around 91 have admitted to the allegations and have already paid €27.8 million in back taxes. For Der Spiegel the Public prosecutors of Bochum, Germany, said on Tuesday they had found more than €200 million in funds hidden in Liechtenstein-based foundations. For The Times of London, Germany estimates that about €4 billion untaxed income are hidden in Liechtenstein.
I do think it is good thing and I don’t see why rich people should be exempted for paying their taxes. Of course one can consider that taxes in Sweden, Germany or France are too high, but even when taxes are lower like in England, some rich people find ways to pay less taxes. For the Times of London, the Inland Revenue is investigating about 100 Britons for tax evasion. For the same newspaper, Germany is bullying countries such as Switzerland or Lichtenstein and it is counter-productive;
” It will be better to persuade them that interdependence is a two way street, and that change is the best guarantee of good relations with their larger neighbours”.
Really? So how long should we wait that these tax havens help tax agencies of bigger states or the justice of Third World looted countries?

I do not know what rich people’s reasons are but they must know that a modern state needs those taxes to work. And how could you enjoy your money in a country where the state can’t provide basic education and healthcare to the people? How could you enjoy your money when it is not safe to go outside your luxurious house? As a matter of fact police forces would be either corrupt or under equipped. How could you enjoy your money when the needy do not have a minimum to live on?
