Meh, it'll blow over. Don't get too excitedThe upper crust doing the shell game thing isn't a secret at all, that's true. Maybe people will flip out at the exact details? Probably not.

Well it looks like this is going to take down Iceland's government so there's that.
Mh, yes, they've clearly earned their tax evasion.
Ya that's a disgusting sentiment.
So where's your tax haven AiA, or are you a failure?
Apparently the juiciest stuff is set to come out later this week (or month). They led with the biggest names for headlines that no one cares about.
Damnit.Apparently the juiciest stuff is set to come out later this week (or month). They led with the biggest names for headlines that no one cares about.
We'll see. So far the statement of the Süddeutsche Zeitung is that no names of US or german politicans have been found in the documents.
The ruling coalition, however, is trying to avoid fresh elections at all costs, no doubt because it already trailed the insurgent Pirate Party in opinion polls before the revelation that the prime minister, and other senior members of his government, held secret offshore accounts.

I find it ironic that people who literally eat off the money these rich people have acquired by business, have the nuts to complain about it, actually.Amen! I mean, so what if that business is tax evasion, drug dealing, human trafficking etc?

AiA: That's some nice food you got there. It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it.
Chinese censors have stepped up their censorship of websites, ordering all content related to the Panama Papers to be scrubbed as new revelations emerged of how relatives of some of the country’s top leaders had used secretive offshore companies to store their wealth.
Documents from the leaked Mossack Fonseca database showed the relations of three of the seven members of the Communist party’s elite ruling council, the politburo standing committee, had companies that were clients of the offshore law firm. They included relatives of Chinese president Xi Jinping.
More than £170bn of UK property is now held overseas. Much of that is in London, where unprecedented house price inflation has transformed homes into highly profitable investments for asset speculators. Nearly one in 10 of the 31,000 tax haven companies that own British property are linked to Mossack Fonseca.
Just days after dismissing the revelation that his late father managed an offshore fund, calling it a "private matter," British Prime Minister David Cameron on Thursday admitted to having profited from the very same fund. According to Cameron, he sold his investments for £31,500 (around $44,300) before becoming Prime Minister.
Meh, it'll blow over. Don't get too excited
"Man, that's fucked up. Can't wait until I'm rich and can get away with that!" - everyone
Except for the field organizers of strikes, who were pretty tough monkeys and devoted, most of the so-called Communists I met were middle-class, middle-aged people playing a game of dreams. I remember a woman in easy circumstances saying to another even more affluent: 'After the revolution even we will have more, won't we, dear?' Then there was another lover of proletarians who used to raise hell with Sunday picknickers on her property.
I guess the trouble was that we didn't have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew—at least they claimed to be Communists—couldn't have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves.
I hope she goes to sexy Women's Prison. :lawd
None of this is illegal. Just immoral.

She already had at least one upskirt pic iirc.

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."
This will keep rolling for a long timeShe already had at least one upskirt pic iirc.
don't pretend you just iirc
believing herself to be a dedicated left-wing activist, though she is actually greedy, selfish and materialistic, mainly supporting current trendy causes for the social status
oh sorry I was actually implying you remember that upakirt a lot better then a vague iirc ;)
we all recall that upskirt
Isn't it possible her parents set up the account when she was a kid, for her Harry Potter monies?

Wait, people are actually pretending to be shocked about this bullshit? So Emma Watson, who's been a millionaire since she was 9 year old, can't be a feminist anymore because she had some shady tax haven? I don't get it. If anything, I'd expect she'd get more feminist cred for doing something in her 20s that's most often been done by old white guys
U2 have a bunch of their holdings offshore from Ireland and nobody gives a fuck, you're all blowing this way out or proportion.

She made her money on an adaptation written by a single parent living on public assistance (something funded by tax and, more importantly, future taxes). Setting aside the fact that the welfare state (something that needs tax revenue to function, Chartalists are nutters) is a guarantor of the freedom of women, at the very least she's an incredible ingrate if she participated in this to launder her money.
I don't really think y'all understand this arrangement very well. Should I Vox-splain it?
She was nine years old when she made that money. And yeah, setting aside that, a wealthy celebrity is a hypocritical ingrate? Color me shocked. It's almost as if these people pay a team of others to present a public image that's wholly at odds with their true selves. Forgive me for not being able to get worked up something that seems fairly minor in the scale of questionable moral decisions, especially in a leak that deals with real monsters who actually have a modicum of influence over the worldWait, people are actually pretending to be shocked about this bullshit?

Are there even job creators in a communist state? Kara please explain.

Sure, but the unbolded was my main point. I'm gonna speculate that her spending habits have a negligible impact compared to those of Bashar Al-Assad or Vladimir Putin

It's not the Panama Papers, but it is about offshore tax evasion, and Hillary's complicit cooperation with the Swiss to protect their banking and the politically exposed.
I was wondering what what going on with this. I expected this to be larger news than it has been.
