As societies evolve, they attempt to improve the moral underpinning of what constitutes fairness and equality. The normalisation of wealth distribution is part of this journey. It is inevitable and we just need to work out the best path to arrive at this destination.
What utter nonsense you do come out with, ian. Of course I am not advocating that. We are a democracy and we operate within the rule of law, so if we are not breaking the law then we cannot be prosecuted. My point was if the practice of tax avoidance is one any government wants to stop, then it should legislate accordingly.
