This is approximately why there’s a consortium of nations who are working to create a world-wide minimum tax system. And why the folks who own the folks who get reports from the folks working on it are quietly opposed and will see to it that it never happens.
Don’t you just love these guys & families who want to live in the United States (and some other countries) to enjoy the natural geological wonders, lakes and forests of the land, the military protection (including THEIR overseas assets!), and the relative stable economic & social stability (for now!). Yet they actively try every trick to hide their financial wealth and contribute as little as possible toward maintaining the nation?
“They (upper bourgeoisie) had subscribed to democracy…for more than a century because it had enabled them to procure, and then protect their rich holding. Now in the mid-1920’s democracy, as it functioned in the wobbly Third Republic appeared to them to threaten their entrenched position and worse, their property and pocketbooks. That the threat was largely a fantasy did not make it seem less real to them. It was in this uneasy state of mind that they began to join together to save not France, or even the Republic, but their class and its wealth!”Excerpt from chapter 11, “Collapse of the Third Republic” by William L. Shirer, about the increasing political, social and economic chaos afflicting France between the two great wars.

Ya gotta feel some sympathy for these rich guys. They steal all this dough and then, they got nowhere to hide it. Seems unfair somehow.
