My problem with taxes
Okay, the story is breaking all over - The Rolling Stones made approximately $196 million dollars last year and they paid ... wait for it ... 1.6% in taxes on their earnings. Are you f---ing kidding me? They do it by using offshore trusts and companies in an incredibly creative manner. Yeah, I'm going to bitch even though these folks are from the U.K. because you can bet your sweet ass the same thing happens here. The über-rich peoples are able to use methods to protect their money that are not open - because us regular Joes are not über-rich - to the rest of us. And that is so frickin' unfair. They need to close loopholes that allow gazillionaires to pay less in taxes than everyone else.
