The Tax Free Tour - VPRO documentary - 2013 

+venus1610 Don't be. People do not care because there is piles and piles of entertainment thrown at them. When I post something like this on facebook I'm lucky if one or two people check it out. However if you post a dumb picture of you and your dog or something suddenly its a hit among your friends. We are told that its boring to talk about politics and economy but it is actually the most important because both have the biggest impact on our society. Maybe people will see it one day, but probably not.

I know right. Omg the series is awesome

Nobody wants to know the true. Check how many Kim Kardashian got vies ...

In the populous, ignorance is bliss. With this said, a dance move video is more important in our delusional minds.

That's crazy right? i was also shocked. It's a very interesting article

We are happy you like it.

@@vprodocumentary After ten years of operating their company tax free. Certain companies in the United States argue that they should not be taxed. Because they are providing much needed jobs for the Counties,Cities and States. And if the government agrees The tax may be passed on to the employees and the general public. In some form or other possibly. When you have thousands of people who are out of work who need and want jobs . The cities and states have no choice jobs for the people takes priority.

Mandy Done the information's spreading

its a big cycle one a global scale as the former accountant says around 47:00 and the laws are written by the accountant firms who exploit the loopholes , same as the wallstreet inv banks and trading firms writing the laws for the FED, SEC, FCA etc

Thank you!

Hi Young boxing! A lot of our viewers are asking for more financial documentaries, and we gave that feedback to the vpro backlight program makers. Keep coming back to our channel, we publish documentaries regularly.

Thank you!!!

mmmmh food for thought

The scam called philanthropy works in similar ways.

How is paying little or no tax stealing? It's protecting your money from taxation. They are not breaking any laws. They are not taking any money that doesn't belong to them. Taxation is also known as legalized theft by government.

@@RedRider1600 lol. That's the answer you deserve, a "lol" These companies play with trillions of dollars and can get away without paying them because they tiptoe through laws, while normal citizens get 20, 30 40% of their salary cut. I don't mind paying my taxes cause that's one of the things that keep my country rolling, that' what let's my neighbors take their kid to the hospital and pay 20€ instead of 200€. I just want these companies to pay their 20, 30 40% like we do

@@MrRhix no one's stopping you from helping your neighbor's kid. Charity is a great thing but "Welfare" isn't charity. It's forcing people to give up their resources at gunpoint. What the government does is steal from the productive sector of society by pocketing much of the stolen wealth through taxation and infinite inflation. Central bankers, their political allies and corporate cronies get the currency first and they are able to purchase real assets before prices go higher. Then they "give" to the poor, while creating a greater, more powerful police state to protect themselves - the parasitic few.

Those are some seriously long sentences. 👍✌️

Didn't he say 11,000 billion?

Efficiency doesn't mean sustainability & not even neccessarily quality. How is this number caculated anyway? great your coffe is cheap, well i hope you can pay the doctor & your kids education after all. & if you could, hope that the rest of the nation isn't poor enough to have to rob your children. If your goal is still to concentrate wealth by any legal means: for what? do you use themoney to anyhow improve the quality & security of your childrens & childrens partners well being in the future?

Viktor Maximilian Distaturus Freiherr What do you mean by saying sustainability? Do you talk about project houses in Detroit, Newark,Cleveland or Paris built from public $$/FF for minorities, later run down and changed into crack houses? Or maybe about Hoover Dam that has never brought a single $ of profit, while causing significant environmental damage at the same time, or football stadiums in Europe built for one-time public events, and then wrecked because keeping them would mean economical disaster to local governments, or public roads in Poland built from public money at cost of two times higher than it should take, or huge river projects in China that flooded large areas of land and forced hundreds of thousands of people to abandon their houses, or Afghanistan, and Africa where money sent as a foreign aid has been defrauded, or worldwide problem of corruption and bribery, or maybe the whole project called socialism in Eastern Europe? . And no. it's not about wealth concentration, even if you have golden door knobs at home... If you own factories that means you own them to produce something that is needed by other people. These factories and (machines) are not gingerbred houses and even if you own tens of them, you will never eat them for breakfast. If you make any profit that means you turn resources efficiently into something usable by others, you do it in more efficient way than others could do, because otherwise somebody else would take that profit instead of you. Besides nothing lasts forever. The 40% comes from Savas' Law, stating that if any publicly provided service is contracted out, anywhere in the world, savings of 20%-40% can be gained. As you could see in the examples above the government tend to loose taxpayers' money on inefficient project and often in unsustainable way, claiming that it knows better than the people it got the money from how to spend it. How did you get to the conclusion anyway that my neighbor, or even better person that doesn't know me, who will be elected tomorrow will all of the sudden know better than me, what is the most sustainable way to spend my money?

With sustainable in this context i meant: Efficient can be: creating a company culture where every worker works so much & so hard that they can't & even don't want to care for a family. This works well, but this culture will just work for some generations fine. And in the long term might have an impact but will be killing itself. A suicide culture. Kamikaze business. Also many products have more damaging effects than healthy ones. The last global financial crisis was done by private sector. having the government undermined. Also see & calculate the thousands of company start ups of which 97% fail year by year constantly. This might have a selection effect & serve competition but is also a huge loss of ressources. More lose than one person gains. a lose/lose/lose/lose/lose/win situation. Still what is this concentrated profit useful for? Isn't that also just giving one person the power to decide for us more than we want to? I can remember some products even over my short lifespan to get more and more useless as the company tries to gain more profit from it. I deny to judge by category. Private or public... in both A LOT of things happen: Crack houses, something like that can happen anywhere & this happens with oursourced buildings too, i can remember a couple of examples in germany. It had the effect that the (40%?) savings manifested in a drop of quality as far as it was possible, without being able to effectively sue the company. Generalization is a dangerous argument. I didn't know about hoover dam, i guess it wasn't about the quality of the project back then but for getting the work force & the economy into a healthy dynamic again, to recover from the great depression. Not the best idea & some fish species lost, some big financial event took place first to make that urgent. Whyever the great depression was, even if it was a fiscal error it showed that most people & the private sector weren't capable anymore to care for themselves. Generalization stays a dangerous argument. I don't see how football stadiums are more public sector gain than private sector gain. Poland roads.. Do you know what russian private companies do? US banks & UK banks do to raise food prices for nothing but their gain? Pharmacy companies corrupt in their medical studies? what lobbying in the EU does to get all sorts of legislation approved? Do you enjoy to eat GMO Mc Donalds Burgers with toxic Pesticides & fraudulently "unharmful" medics in the cows meat? Want to use the clothing made out of ultra cheap (efficient) but toxic fiber? en passe'd control by legislation? Do you want to wear the cheaply colored clothes with Azo compounds to keep it cheap but skin cancer related? Wanna eat your sweets with no fat or sugar? but ohh after some years they finally find it was actually toxic this sweetener, the company of course didn't know that (anymore). All the media that sells that stuff... Well thats what some peoople i don't even know try to tell me and my kids to buy it.. They somehow believe they know what we need the most.. strange.. How did you get to the conclusion anyway that my neighbor, or even better person that doesn't know me, 'who just has the ressources' will all of the sudden know better than me, what is the most sustainable way to spend my money? Imagine to come from a family which didn't have the ressources to know all that. Can you imagine how market & health would be with no legislation & control? No nation? Like anarchy.... war in fact.... A Nation is like a father & mother for those who didn't have the luck to have some. Of course they have other problematic functions too & damage often more than they help. But thats something to change. In sum it's more easily accessible to everyone who want's to change it. Prvate corporations aren't in this way. Well i enjoy to discuss something that important & i see you are interested in this subject too, it means you actually care, the direction & information of our paths may be still different, but i don't want to miss the chance to know from you what you think is the place to invest the most as possible to make a better world for all of us who care. What do you think? What do you do? I have an idea & i will tell you if you tell me yours first. Let's try to make humanity sustain forever. Not by twisting & abusing ourselves over our limits but by manipulating nature to make us surpass our limits.

Where are you getting this information from?

Hi, Some subtitles are burned in the video and cannot be turned off. You can deactivate the captions by clicking on the CC button. We hope it helps. Best regards

It's Kenya.

go for it? ...right, cause everyone has the educational, logistic, political and material resources to become one of these thieves.

Yes I guess in the eyes of the government these people are thieves because they have the nerve to attempt to keep some of their hard earned money for themselves and their retirement. The government would far prefer to suck and squeeze every cent from the people they can get so the populous will be good loyal little drones and beholding for the paltry handouts they get from the government in retirement. Also it doesn't take much to make that first step it just takes people to read a little and get off their butt.

Hey, you know what? Let them keep their money, not pay taxes. Let them also lay their own roads, build their own bridges, hire their own private security force, build their own airports, devise their own computer network, lay their own water pipes, electrical lines, build their own electrical plant or hydroelectric dam. As long as they can do all of that, they can keep their money. When they take their money, we the people have to make up their share. Are YOU happy subsidizing your local factories? Because you probably are. There's this thing called FILO, Fee In Lieu Of (Taxes). They pay something ridiculous, like $500, and in return don't have to pay local or property taxes for so many years. Lots of factories and large business concerns get this from local governments in return for locating in your community. That just means YOU are responsible for THEIR taxes now. How do you like that?

@@VideoWorkingGirl You are an idiot.

The big corporations hold onto the profits in tax havens rather than pay it in dividends to the shareholders. The tax would be paid getting the money to the shareholders.
