Re: Should tax avoiders/evaders have their assets taken from them?If terrorists offered you money for the nuclear codes would you give it to them? Yes you would because you are a dangerously unpatriotic individual.(Original post by ANARCHY__)
I would do it, definitely. I don't think people on here understand that, in reality, people are just trying to make things better for themselves and not worse for others. That said, there are plenty of people of all creeds and colours who are equally generous as they are selfish. Unfortunately, this issue has been taken on with such a layman's view, that I am struggling to continue with this. -

Re: Should tax avoiders/evaders have their assets taken from them?By Euthanasia I mean gassing Jews for simply for being Jewish.(Original post by JongKey)
You're making it seem as if men are complete dogs. I can tell you that the majority of the people would be against it, men or women. Rape is a terrible thing and what you just said is wrong, most men would not feel comfortable forcing a woman into sex. The only men who would think that are people who most likely would've raped anyway - legal or illegal.
Euthanasia is a tough one, i can see why people would want it legalised and not etc but i guess according to the law, nobody could be punished for it and quite rightly because well - it was legal. Up until tax avoidance becomes illegal (although i don't see why), people shouldn't be punished. Laws can change but you can't punish someone for following the rules, go ahead and do that when they go against the rules. -

Re: Should tax avoiders/evaders have their assets taken from them?Being unpatriotic doesn't mean you are going to support terrorists. I would avoid tax but i'd never help a terrorist.(Original post by internetguru)

Re: Should tax avoiders/evaders have their assets taken from them?Then that's not euthanasia. That's murder and that was illegal.(Original post by internetguru)

Re: Should tax avoiders/evaders have their assets taken from them?Money would never be greater for me than a person's life. Terrorists kill and are complete bastards, i don't care if it'd make me richer but i'd never support a terrorist. People have morals, for me tax avoidance and helping a terrorist are on different scales when it comes to morality. Some people may think avoiding tax is immoral, i don't. However helping a terrorist would just go against everything i believe in.(Original post by internetguru)

Re: Should tax avoiders/evaders have their assets taken from them?Under Nazi law it was defined as Euthanasia and was not illegal. Why would they break their own laws?(Original post by JongKey)

Re: Should tax avoiders/evaders have their assets taken from them?10x worse? Claiming a false benefit worse than usurping a tax loophole? Cost wise it isn't and morally I think they're about the same(Original post by Steevee)
And the people who avoid tax most likely see the very Tax they are avoiding as theft. The statements you are making can be flipped rather easily.
Who are the government to take such large proportions of money from the rich when they are the least likely to see the benefit of it? I don't blame anyone who avoids tax. As far as I'm concerned benefit fraud is 10 times worse than tax avoidance, and is the issue that should be tackled first. -

Re: Should tax avoiders/evaders have their assets taken from them?What's so wrong about tax avoidance? Me not buying something because it's too high in tax is tax avoidance. There's nothing wrong with moving premises abroad. What do you find so wrong about tax avoidance? Could you provide specific examples?(Original post by That Bearded Man)

Re: Should tax avoiders/evaders have their assets taken from them?I'm pretty sure the jews would've protested against being gassed, therefore it was murder. It wasn't for the benefit of the jews and it was completely against their wishes.(Original post by internetguru)

Re: Should tax avoiders/evaders have their assets taken from them?In Nazi Germany it was legal to kill for the benefit of Germany. It was deemed that undesirables such as Jews were bad for Germany thus it was legal for them to be killed by the state. You believe it would be wrong to punish those Nazis as it was legal.(Original post by JongKey)

Re: Should tax avoiders/evaders have their assets taken from them?Yes i do. Although i HIGHLY disagree, there's nothing i can do about it seeing as it was legal. Just shows how stupid and up themselves the law makers were, good thing what they did is now illegal.(Original post by internetguru)
