Prominent Tax Dodgers revealed in leaked documents

Bit of a grim world view, that. And I do not believe one word they say about the role of government and what is or isn't good for the economy. If IDS says Osbourne and co are a bunch of ideological zealots who cut welfare spending as a matter of principle, then we need to look at that whole issue again because IDS is not exactly Fidel Castro in these respects. And as for dossers and layabouts, well they're just a fact of life. Their existence isn't any reason to attack the financial welfare of families and the disabled.... unless you're George Rich Boy Osbourne, that is.

They went after families and the disabled, not your so called layabouts and dossers. The mean_spirited fornicators are taking the absolute piss. I hope they come back as hamsters after they die.

It's not a grim view, it's accepting human (or just basic animal) behaviour. We would all like to have as much as possible and we would all like to sacrifice as little as possible to get that. In the political landscape that generally equates to the poor voting for tax and welfare increases and the rich voting for tax and welfare cuts.

I think elements of the Conservative party are a bit nasty, but in the current climate I would prefer that to the prolific happy-spending elements of the Labour party.

They went after the dossers, but many of the dossers were posing as disabled. It was an incredibly difficult thing to cut back on but the spending that Labour introduced wasn't manageable. I think Osbourne went way too far in cutting disabled welfare to give higher rate payers a tax cut though.

I never knew Thatcher was Labour after all it was her government that forced people from unemployment benefit into the sick after she destroyed industry in the north
(The same area that Osborne wants to turn into a "powerhouse" by relocating jobs from Sheffield to London)

I despair that this country will never have a government that governs for the benefit of the people who took the time and trouble to vote one way or the other! Skunks of every political shade in their skunk sty at Westminster.
 
So Dave first claims he has no offshore dealings whatsoever....

Hours later Downing street clarifies things by saying he doesn't benefit form any offshore dealings.....

Today his office says he wont benefit from offshore dealings in the future.

Basically, the man has lied through his teeth and regardless of political persuasion, should resign.
 
This won't just be politicians - I guarantee left, right and middle will be involved. This will include rich people full stop including the footballers we so love and adore. Contracts, Image Rights, payments all that crap that goes with sport are very cleverly put together to gain maximum tax efficiencies

So don't just direct at Politicians - I'm not loaded or anything but these guys are being asked to give away 50p of every £1 they earn as tax - in a normal system. If I was in their shoes I'd also look at ways of saving a few more of my quids, but I'm not so its easy just to slag rich people off.

Completely agree but for a politician, especially one that wants you to believe we are all in this together, his position is now untenable as far as im concerned, as it is for any other politicians out there that believe its ok for them to buck the system us ordinary citizens have to live and abide by.
 
That money is rushing for one simple reason: dirty foreign - and local - money is welcome in the U.S., no questions asked, to be shielded by the most impenetrable tax secrecy available anywhere on the planet.
One may even say that nowadays, US-based tax havens are the new Switzerland, or Bahamas or, for that matter, Panama. Indeed, for most Americans, offshore tax haven are now meaningless with the passage of the FATCA law, which makes the parking of dirty US money abroad practically impossible. So where does that money go instead - it stays in the US:
