The author says these “ultra-rich” own or influence whole nations, then, in the next sentence says the same people have to hide their money away in the Caymans to avoid taxes. If these boogeymen are so powerful, why wouldn’t they just exempt themselves from taxes, like John Kerry? Why go through all the cloak-and-dagger of squirreling money away in foreign banks when you own the banks right here at home?
I can be as paranoid as the next guy, but there’s too much vague innuendo in this screed to make it anything more than a primal howl.
>why wouldn’t they just exempt themselves from taxes,<
Look at the influence exerted through PAC’s and other exempt organizations and you’ll understand they do exempt themselves.
