That is an issue for the UK ballot box, not for Liechtenstein to decide upon.

I happen to disagree with everything you say about the covernment too. It has massive faults. Probably not as many as the private sector.

The words Northern Rock come to mind.

You really need to get a grip. There is no such thing as unfair tax evasion; only excessive tax in Western countries to support lazy and cossetted populations. That tax evasion is not a crime in Liechtenstein or Switzerland is not the point and never will be. Bring your brain to bear on more important matters like the excessive tax borne by UK residents as a whole to support an inefficient, incompetent and generally corrupt government.

The one fact that seems to escape press attention is that although Liechtenstein banks have €100b under control, substantially more is under control of the foundations but have this money in Switzerland.

This is analogous to say, Panama IBC’s having their bank accounts in Jersey.

So the amount of tax evasion through the use of Liechtenstein foundations is far more insidious than meets the eye, far more.
