Tax havens

[kaciara]

Watch any film with a moustache twirling bad guy and he'll always be transferring money to his Caiman Island or Swiss bank account. Unfortunately, this activity isn't restricted to the movies.

I can understand why the government and media are fumbling over this stuff and are really annoyed about it but honestly. Why is it a 'morally' bad thing? We all know that our governments are corrupt as hell so frankly I don't blame the people trying to dodge taxes especially since most of it is going to fund a war I think even corporations are having doubts about now.
