Leak shows what much of the world's 99% believes
It’s hard to know where to start in tallying up the explosive revelations
in the Panama Papers, an analysis of leaked documents from global law firm
Mossack Fonseca revealed by the International Consortium of Investigative
Journalists (ICIJ). Yes, we’ve known for a while now that the shadow
financial system was growing. But it’s another thing to take in 11.5
million documents showing the way in which Mossack Fonseca was working with
big name financial groups like UBS, HSBC, Société Générale, and many
others to help elites from the Communist Party leadership of China, to
soccer star Lionel Messi, to global financiers hide cash in offshore havens
around the world. | b********n
发帖数: 38600 | 2 this is one of the key issues at work in the U.S. presidential election.
Voters know at a gut level that our system of global capitalism is working
mainly for the 1 %, not the 99 %. That’s a large part of why both Sanders
and Trump have done well, because they tap into that truth, albeit in
different ways. The Panama Papers illuminate a key aspect of why the system
isn’t working–because globalization has allowed the capital and assets of
the 1 % (be they individuals or corporations) to travel freely, while those
of the 99 % cannot. Globalization is supposed to be about the free movement
of people, goods, and capital. But in fact, the system is set up to enable
that mobility mainly for the rich (or for large corporations). The result is
global tax evasion, the offshoring of labor, and an elite that flies 35,000
feet over the problems of nation states and the tax payers within them. | b********n

everything from high-end real estate to PACs (effectively political shell
companies),” says one of my favorite sources, Peter Atwater, a behavioral
economist. “Voters are increasingly angry at the seeming transience of the
financial/corporate/political elite. The 1% can move anywhere they want—and
profit handsomely from the relocation, but the 99% can’t. Worse, the 99%
are left with the aftermath—the empty buildings of a deserted Detroit, the
toxic waste from chemical plants in West Virginia or the unsustainable tax
liabilities of Puerto Rico.” | C**********a
