An international group of journalists have revealed rich people using off shore methods to avoid tax. There are a couple of points to be made in this situation. When rich people try and avoid paying their fair share of tax public services have less funds. Everyone else has to pay extra tax to make up the shortfall. Society becomes less united. The rich needs and uses the state to insure that law and order is maintained. They need the state for transport state aid and tax reductions. Getting public services and not paying for them makes a person and free loader.
