Compared to all the other countries in the world, the US is a tax haven

https://tenor.com/view/english-english-motherfucker-pulp-fiction-gif-5630290

One of the greatest things about the US is the fact that you have so little regulation and taxation

tax haven? that's a joke.. Hardly any billionaire pays their tax's in the usa.

wait wut

Are we speaking two different languages? A tax haven means you're NOT paying much taxes

Just look at the meme again, ET

Yeah I noticed <:smugon:512048583806025739>

He don't no speako no Eigo

Yeah and they don't pay it in the usa and they shouldn't. I wouldn't want to loose 75% of my wealth. So they invest it in stock instead of spending. When they do spend it they move the investment oversea's and sell it there

So what's our disagreement, I'm not sure

that the wealthiest people per cap is from singapore because of their tax's

And i can hardly find anything about their policies. It seems like it's a information black out on them

Morning all

@Ethreen42 G'day cunt

Isn't Singapore highly authoritarian?

They have little to no freedom of speech afaik

They have no freedom, correct.

i don't know. Honestly noone talks about them. Hardly any information or studies.

Reminder that New Zealand is Australian land and that only Anglo Celtic people are real aussies

nz isn't australian land. i'm australian

Ah yes, that reminds me of the **Democratic People's Republic of Korea** where everything's great and people are happy and no one commits any crime and all that.

@Kingy200 wrong but ok

Who in their right mind puts Singapore in second place on the freedom index

Must be some liberal arts student who doesn't know the difference between fascism and a pot of tea

nz is their own country recognized by the international stage. They also killed thousands of people when they tried to colonize their lands (way back). They have their own constitution which australia doesn't

the index is based on tax and freedom in market

So it's basically a meaningless index then if it doesn't account for non-economic policies

New Zealand is a Anglo-Celtic nation state that unfortunately didn't become a state in 1901, it should of and incorporating it should be a foreign policy goal for Australia

Freedom of market does account for economic policies?

Should Australia annex nz?

By force?

nz is considered our little brother? that should be enough to explain the relationship

by force? probably not because that would result in a rise of New Zealand nationalism and anti-Australian sentiment, preferably they should be incorporated peacefully through referendum

America should just annex both Australia and New Zealand

That's never going to happen. The cultures are different. The only way that would ever happen if it was by force

Yeah America annexing Australia will never happen, New Zealand being annexed though, that's possible

of course the most likely future for Australia right now is to be colonized and become a de facto puppet state of China

it's never going to happen bro. The cultures are different. You think a little brother wants to walk in the same foot steps as their big brother?
