Tax havens have been around for a while; so the appearance
of the Panama Papers is just proof of how easy it is to avoid the law. The main
problem is that it demonstrates how lax our authorities are and how easy it is
to overcome them. And of course, if those in power are permitted to get away
with it, then why should us humble workers be oppressed by the law? If our
adorned Prime Minister can get away with it, then why should the rest of us
contribute? Far from calling for his resignation, if the owing balance is not
paid (with interest) then surely these criminals should be jailed for profiting
from the public purse? These matters need to be under greater scrutiny;
especially at a time when politicians are making cutbacks on our public
services. Otherwise, people will want to know where the money is going and will
abandon the monetary system if necessary.
