*The five biggest threats to our natural world … and how we can stop them.*

Impeachment after Pandora papers

vendredi 15 octobre 2021 à 02:00

*Chile president Piñera faces impeachment after Pandora papers leak.*

This article, like all Guardian articles about the Pandora papers, equates "do something wrong" with "break a law". Let's take care not to incorporate that assumption into our thinking. I agree that tax evasion by the wealthy is unjust, as a general principle. But when they find lawful ways to dodge taxes, that is not to assume it isn't wrong.
