If tax havens are something to aspire to, then why do so many tax havens have problems with poverty and inequality?
There are obvious exceptions in Europe, but let's face it many are just about exploitation, an unfortunate side effect of greed.
Barry talks about envy, which is also another worrying side effect of inequality, merely on the other side.
It's all well and good saying that the gap between rich and poor must be addressed by bringing the lower portion of earners up, but how do you do this when they are metaphorically (and literally in some cases) wiping the backsides of the tax dodgers that strive to keep their wages down.
Many humanitarian organisations recognise the effects that these havens have on the poor...and it isn't good.
NB: I have used the term 'good' in the altruistic sense, and not the new meaning defined by Capitalists...who basically use it to assess whether or not they are OK!
