International finance, new world order, etc., controls the EU.

They will always maintain tax shelters in government laws.

They have politicians in their pocket so they can always get laws and regulations quietly slipped through. Where they close one loophole they open another.

They use the issue of tax evasion as political fodder for the left (the leadership of which they control) to jump up and down about and get MORE laws passed. Invariably, upon closer inspection - voila ! The laws actually HELP international finance.

The Apple case is classic, for the piece inc’d in Ireland, much of it has no nation in which its taxable income.

But Apple sells products to government (just do a quick web search).

So Apple TAKES tax dollars as sales, but wants to avoid paying taxes to the same government as much as possible.

In order to not consolidate income of subsidiaries, a corporation has to file a statement that they do not forsee bringing the capital or its returns back to the US.

Of course, what that really means is not until they are presented with an opportunity to bring it back to the US without paying US taxes on the income.

Shareholders love it, the investing public, completely confused, loves it. They don’t see that although they benefit from investment gains because of this, in reality they as individuals probably are unable to avoid income taxes, thus if they are successful at investing they wind up paying at least 15% income tax - eventually - on what is distributed to them. Of course wealthy folks are able to avoid income tax to a large extent via professional tax planning. But most of the voting public just works and pays.

Legislators should have NOTHING to say about companies that avoid income tax really, because THEY passed the laws.

Legislators work on behalf of big finance, no one else.

The whole NWO schtick is actually in reverse here, which is the reality. The EU controls a lot more than people think.
