This study was performed in Scandinavia and shows the ultra-wealthy don't pay 30% of all the taxes they owe. Makes you wonder what that number is in other countries.

What do you think? Here a picture showing the federal revenue lost to tax evasion:

Think of this again when you hear someone complain of the 'tens of dollars a month' someone on footstamps 'steals' by cheating on the system.

Who's to blame?

'Yeah, but some Jews protested violently against the Nazi's so both sides are to blame for all the violence in Nazi Germany', is basically what an American president said when a white supremacist in Charlottesville ran over peaceful counter-protestors with his car, injuring 19 people and killing one.

32 Year old Heather Heyer is to blame for her own death, according to 'the most powerful man in the world'. Should she have idly stood by, watching neo-nazi's take over het beloved country?

Donald Trump could have honoured her memory by blaming her killer and not her. In stead he chose to insult her and others like her by allowing hatred filled idiots to ruin life for actual peaceloving patriotic Americans.

Let's stop pollution!

For some reason we have polluted our planet for years and years. As if we didn't care what happened to it. But it's starting to look like we do. And maybe, just maybe it's not too late to do something to make this planet a better place for our children's children. I think we owe it to them. We made a mess and we should clean it up.



Cleaning up oil spills is one thing but how about stop polluting our environment? All we have to do is not do it. Are you in?
