The Moral Case for Tax Havens

This Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation video demonstrates that low-tax jurisdictions offer millions of people around the world a safe haven from tyrannical and oppressive government. For this, and many other reasons, there is a powerful moral case for preserving and promoting tax havens. This mini-documentary is the second installment of a three-part series on the beneficial impact of low-tax jurisdictions. In addition to showing how tax havens promote human rights and individual liberty, the video exposes the hypocritical anti-tax competition efforts of statist international bureaucracies such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Unearned income? wtf is that? Are you saying that these people don't deserve that money? Are you saying that it should be forcefully taken from them, and given to someone else?

What ruined our economy is lazy assholes that don't contribute and only leech. Call them what you want, but THAT is what ruined our economy.

And dude.... Rich people pay a FAR higher PERCENTAGE in taxes than "workers" or as you'd like to call them, the prolitereate. I'm sure he'd LOVE to pay taxes like the workers.

They WILL. You keep advocating punishing the companies that provide your jobs in this country through taxation and excessive regulation, and theyll leave and take their jobs with them. Consenting to ridiculous taxation is NOT patriotic. Also, roads, parks and "a lot of things" can easily be provided without the need for government bureaucrats.

No they are not. Cite your evidence for us all.

The countries with the greatest economic disparity are countries none of us would want to live in

You are correct about the rich investing in capital. Unfortunately they invest in capital in communist ant third world countries. Why, be cause slave labor is cheap. There in an increase in the standard of living of other countries

SHUT UP, WE DON'T BUY YOUR BULLSH**

totally rocking it, what a intellectual depraved argument for tax havens that middle class and working class people can't have. Thats why income tax rates on the rich is meaningless without laws requiring them to report their offshore bank accounts.

No wonder tax havens help the rich along with criminals avoid or evade taxes. No wonder the middle class and working class bear the tax burden in this country.

@jhammer74

good points also make sure to note that eventually, the free market distributes capital, and it is almost impossible to hoard it. aka ' the specie flow'... its what destroyed mercantalism ;)

[MrBigEnchilada]

lol i dont get why income disparity would be the result of good actions, I consider the wealth gap to be a problem, not progress. Anyone care to explain how a large income gap would be beneficial to standards of living? it doesn't?

[britoca]

interesting video, but i'd like to see a an economic solution for the diminishing natural assets on our planet brought on by constant economic growth and natural habitat destruction. The two seem to be opposing forces and with no apparent solution.

Are we bound to ever grow more and more and be left without living oceans, forests, fauna, or are we going to learn to voluntarily factor in economic sacrifice somehow and balance out the scheme?

the irony is that most rich people in this world call themselves Christians, yet get mardy when you try to impose a rational tax system to help less well of people, ide like to see how much of the money they earn goes to Africa............

@Philldapill85 there is no moral case for a tax haven if you live in a civilized country that isnt going to burst through the door and rob you, none, zero, is nothing, some men are lazy, some are determined, some are stupid, some are cleaver, but no man is born equal, only are they equal in the eyes of God, I earn 80k plus and i am proud to pay my taxes, to allow people in disadvantaged areas like the one i came from more of the opportunities afforded to a person born into a rich famly for ex...

Taxation as a whole is theft plain and simple. A constitutional amendment for a flat tax would fix all problems. All people in all status taxed the same amount. Every time I hear the Presidential debate Biden vs. Palin. I can remember him saying fair, it's what is fair. What a lying sack of shit Biden is. There is nothing fair about it. It's like a mugger saying ok he has more so I'm going to steal 70% of his money and only steal 30% of his money. Would you think the mugger was a good guy?
