The wealthy elite must be protected at all costs and journalists put in jail


I’m new round here and still practising what you call sarcasm, perhaps you can give me some feedback on how I’ m doing.


So the Greeks are trying to lock up a journalist for naming and shaming those with Swiss bank accounts.  This is important journalists must realise that the elite live by different rules to everyone else and furthermore it is quite expensive to setup a Swiss bank account.  On no account should one have to pay for a bank account and also have to pay taxes at the same time.  You sometimes pay a few taxes while you are getting rich but once you’ve arrived then these things are just for the little people and there need to be sufficient loopholes, opportunities and privacy that you can stop paying taxes once you get really rich.  While personal privacy is important, disclosing that you have a bank account is hardly a huge invasion, particularly when it appears that many were not paying taxes on the related income.

It’s not as if the Greek economy is struggling in any way or if there is a shortage of money.  Debt to GDP is likely to reach 190% so there really is no need or point to the rich paying taxes to help steady the ship.  No this journalist must be locked up and privacy protected, we simply can’t have information on rich people not paying tax made public, that’s totally unacceptable.  How can society possibly progress if the rich have to pay taxes.
