“We think we can recognize a dominant social theme when we see one. This sudden emphasis on eradicating tax havens is a manufactured media firestorm, intended to go on and on until there are few places to hide money from increasingly demanding governments. Believe, if you wish, that taxes are a legitimate duty of citizens in the 21st century. This argument still begs the question of why, in an era of central banking, governments need to collect taxes. Banks can print as much as is necessary. And according to such wise men as Ben Bernanke, banks can also drain money if the economy is getting overheated. So why taxes?”
