This is mostly wrong information.

Do you have any idea how much Bill Gates pays in taxes? He has paid tens of billions of dollars.

The guy from Amazon I don't know much about sorry. Maybe he is an exception.



'That one guy from Amazon', owns everyone's *lunch*.

Price of Offshore: Revisited (2012–2014)

A notable study on the financial effect was Price of Offshore: Revisited in 2012–2014, by former McKinsey & Company chief economist James S. Henry.[121][122][123] Henry did the study for the Tax Justice Network (TJN), and as part of his analysis, chronicled the history of past financial estimates by various organisations.[118][31]

Henry used mainly global banking data from various regulatory sources to estimate that:[122][123]

USD 21 to 32 trillion of global assets (over 20% of global wealth) "has been invested virtually tax-free [..] in more than 80 offshore secrecy jurisdictions";[124]
USD 190 to 255 billion in annual tax revenues are lost due to i. above;
USD 7.3 to 9.3 trillion is represented by individuals from a subset of 139 "low to middle income" countries for which data is available;
These figures only include "financial assets" and do not include assets such as Real Estate, precious metals etc.

The only reason socialism works in the Scandinavian countries is because they have a small heterogeneous population and strong border control.

Socialism can't work in American unless we first secure our border.

A Trumpian Stalinism, then.

Well I haven't been interned in a high-rise reeducation camp so I guess I'm a lot freer than I would be if you were running the show.

Fortunately I don't *have* the sort of politics where *I* would have to be running the show, so you can breathe easy now.

So that means that you're *pro* ethnic cleansing, right?


I'm pro-ethnic cleansing in order to achieve socialism, despite creating a topic explaining why I'm against socialism? What? What's your thought process here?

I'm glad to hear you're a "much happier and healthier person" @Agent Steel. Does this mean you finally came out to yourself? :rainbow:

Sexual orientation develops as you grow! But the choices you make as a child form the BASIS of that orientation.

When you a reach a certain age, maybe 11 or 12, your sexuality comes into fruition, but it will not develop PROPERLY if you don't make good choices as a young child.

Sorry I meant *homogeneous*. Homogenous means the same right?

No, you *gave up* socialism, for *personal* reasons, remember?

But, *politically*, you're indicating that you prefer *homogenous* countries, like in traditional Scandanavia.

So you could correctly be termed a Scandanavian Stalinist.

How important is that *ethnic homogeneity* to you?
