Heh quite something that huh. Still I can't help but think that he is only taking advantage of the schemes open to one of his wealth in order to keep it, as the rest of his ilke do I guess. That it is incredibly hard to live a life bound by ones morality when all others in a similar situation to you take advantage of the system, and that if fair laws were intruduced and things like these tax havens simply did not exist so that a rich man paid his tax burden like the rest of us, then he would be more able to live live in an un-hypocritical way.
Although it is a good point well made, bloody hypocrit! Heh then again, point me out just one person who truely practices what they preach 100% of the time.
