What would Hermione Granger say?

Actress Emma Watson has been named in the so-called "Panama Papers" as having used a company based in a Caribbean tax haven to handle her money, it was revealed Tuesday.

The 26-year-old, who is taking a break from acting to work as a United Nations goodwill ambassador and women's rights campaigner, is a shareholder in one of approximately 200,000 offshore corporations whose information was published online Monday by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).

Miss Watson has a 2nd career as jet setting Leftist activist. Got caught trying to avoid the tax man. Pay your fair share!

“.... work as a United Nations goodwill ambassador...” LOL! Srsly? What, by flying on a Gulfstream to some remote sXXt hole to tell some lost tribe they need to change how they live and quit destroying the wonders around them? Like leo de crapio whining about glow-bull BS and renting a yacht that was bigger than the first ship I was on in the Navy? No use for these asshats.

Sharp woman to avoid paying taxes.

Shame about her political activity. Unaware of that, but unsurprising.

That’s why I’m not so hung up anymore on taxing the rich.

Most of the rich are limousine liberals, time for them to start putting their money where their mouths are.

simplify the tax code, tax everyone past a certain base minimum, flat.

Making the tax code more complex and cranking up the taxes will only drive those that can, to take advantage of any means to hang onto their money and raise the rates on the folks in the middle.

Just limit the tax to people and companies to 10-percent, period. Tell the spending side of the government that there’s a limit, and you need to stay under whatever that number amounts to.

It’s not illegal to have offshore accounts and there should be no prima facie assumption of illegality here.

No, by claiming that everything and everyone are sexist.

That's the money-line right there.

The gubmint doesn't know the meaning of the word Budget. That's the big reason why I never would entertain a VAT - you'd have local, state, fed VAT and fed income, etc

There is no scandal involved with Panama Papers any more than the scandal involved in eating macaroni at your own kitchen table. Such would be a horrific scandal if the government and the MSM proclaimed it so for no other reason than that thegovernment and MSM proclaimed it.

Screw the tax man. Regardless of what I think of her politics, it’s her money to do with as she pleases.
