Watching #documentary "The Panama Papers," is on @hulu. Several important takeaways:

1. Governments around the world lose tremendous amounts of revenue rich people should be paying in taxes.

Those same rich people are influencing laws & regulatory agencies to make tax evasion easier.

Needless to say, the poor can't use the same methods to avoid paying taxes.

2. Global investigative journalism is beyond the capacity of commercial & national news organizations, assuming their directors are even willing to challenge oligarchs who often control those organizations.

The #UK & #USA are by far the best countries at facilitating tax evasion for the world's oligarchs.
