I think you don't understand perhaps? How do they send their money away so as to avoid tax? They take their keister with their money, for six months plus a day... to another country. That makes them no longer a resident, and only a resident is liable to pay tax (here anyway, as old Irving did that for a good many years being a resident of Bermuda).

Personally I could care less how rich these people are. That fact doesn't bother me. By the same token there are a lot that are poor that don't have to be poor. They're living that way by their own making, to SOME degree.
What bothers me is that the rules of the game are not in yours or my favor, whether you think so or not.
In this country today, my generation has been indoctranated with the idea that you go to school, get the 100 grand education and go get a better job. Well... I know a good many who did. I know several who aren't working in their trained field at all and can't find work in that field. Many, many people from this area where I live are travelling liek nomads to work 4000 miles from home in the Athabaska tar sands...
Now tell me, if your theory is completly true, and in a purely capitalistic economy, everything is regulated by money... WHY IS IT THAT THESE COMPANIES DEVELOPING OUR OIL RESOURCE are importing chinks and rag heads to lug chuck blocks and drive busses? Shouldn't they just pay more money and eventually the labor will show itself from other sectors, or the cost will slow the development to a pace that can be sustained? I mean,that's the theory...
But that's not how it's working. How it's working is that they're importing workers, taking our jobs, paying them as little as they can get away with and extracting the resource as fast as they can, for their profit. Those are the rules that we seem to operate under. They don't seem to be geared towards the little guy getting the piece of the pie he's entitled to either...
You don't see a problem witht that?
I wouldn't care if it worked the way the theory says and we all played by the same rules... but we don't all play by the same rules.

Rod
