I hear this kind of stuff from folks who don't really understand why offshore entities are useful in any number of scenarios for perfectly legitimate reasons.

I also hear it from folks who have never had to deal with the heavy handed tactics of a government that unabashedly tries to extort money from pockets it considers "deep enough" to pick.

You might think those tax dollars find their way to useful social programs. You'd be wrong. More often than not, they're used to prop up favored industries or enrich politically connected individuals.

I don't condone tax cheating. But I absolutely condone jurisdiction shopping if it helps to keep funds in the hands of those that earned it. I know that'll make me unpopular with a certain vocal minority but those folks haven't ever bought me so much as a cup of coffee so I think I'll live.
