Impeachment after Pandora papers

vendredi 15 octobre 2021 à 02:00

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

I don't know what Piñera actually did, but if he is caught in crime I will rejoice at his punishment.

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 no to assume it isn't wrong.
