| This is true, Americans are wholly not shocked by revelations of hidden overseas bank accounts. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/panama-papers-poll_us_5707e7afe4b063f854df7da2Al Jazeera and BBC are hitting this story hard, but I haven't seen a single US report about it before this. - Quote :
- A 51-percent majority of Americans also say that tax avoidance, even if it adheres to the law, is unacceptable behavior. Opinions, though, divide significantly across income brackets. While just about one-quarter in households making under $50,000 a year think tax avoidance is acceptable, 52 percent of those making $100,000 or more see it as just fine.
"If it adheres to the law" pretty much describes the rigging of the tax system. It's become so commonplace that Americans just accept it. |
