  1. Solid points you bring out here Andrew, but something you don't cover is the foundation of some of these issues. What particular groups are mostly responsible and support high taxes, I don't want to bother people too much here but by gender one group typically supports much more taxes and central government power then the other group. These are the core issues you likely don't mention in your channel as you don't want to disrupt the client base of your brand but which I will gladly mention here. Look at police forces for example worldwide and the increase overall in women that now comprise these police forces,in both the street work but also at the top making the calls for the police force as a whole or political leaders (politicians). You are very consistent about your ideas and areas that you support on your channel, and is even evidenced by the countries you promote. The tax issue for example though will continue to be an issue as long as women continue to increase their power in the government and their wealth continues to increase worldwide, just biological wiring here and yes there are exceptions to this rule but the exceptions don't set the norms of a society. Tax savings are a huge component of your company and I have been holding back this idea amongst other ideas but feel that this should be mentioned here with the topic of your video focused on this area. Also, I understand the importance of taking action rather then questioning all the norms and standards being imposed on a society, which is where you come into play but as stated before with some of your topics getting to the heart of the issue is just as critical as how to mitigate the issue so people better understand the topic as a whole. One final thing I would also remind you, having as many wealthy people in a society would not be possible, as is today without the structure of society being comprised in the way it is, ie: internet becoming a central base for many sectors of the economy. This is one thing people have to consider, not that I support higher taxes because I don't but if the internet helps to 10X or 100X someones personal net worth and they have to pay x in personal taxes, that situation is still better then making a small fraction of that without the internet being in place and paying small taxes on that small income. Wealthy people have to keep this in mind as innovations are both good and bad in this sense and no matter what governments will figure out how to profit from this and steadily get a bigger slice for themselves. Also, remember there is no way a guy like Bill Gates would be in the wealth bracket he is for so many years without having governments on his side, and in many ways governments have helped him retain power and wealth just as much as himself if not more so when you think about this issue deeply. Have a nice weekend anyhow and look forward to some input here, a lot I mentioned in this long statement.

  2.  Diggy d  this is phrased better then I could have said it but exactly one of the points I was trying to make here and in summary that the taxes go are arranged the way they are on a deeper level in many places and the leaders running these countries are perfectly aware of this which is why they create the tax structures they do in the first place, of course often with the help of the people as they need to be elected. Honestly,I am not sure if tax haven countries will be tax havens in 20 years, or literally people may have to own their own islands, hopefully but never know. Thanks for input here.
