Alternative Visions – Panama Papers’ Revelations & What’s Happening in Europe (French protests, Dutch voters, Brexit-Grexit, German Economy) – 04.08.16
Jack discusses this past week’s revelations out of Panama of the massive
tax sheltering, avoidance and fraud by the US and global economic
elites. The economic tax ‘wikileaks’ revelations show global politicians
deeply implicated, including Iceland, UK, Argentina prime ministers.
Jack refers listeners back to his 2006 ‘War at Home’ book and the ‘Great
American Tax Shift’ and writings ever since on this topic, available at
his blog, jackrasmus.com and website, www.kyklosproductions.com/articles/html.
Where the US, Euro, Russian, China 1% hide their money in 27 global
‘jurisdictions’, estimated conservatively at $11 trillion today. Phone
Congress ‘repatriation’ tax proposals of 2005 and 2016 are explained,
recent inversion deals, and how and why US corporations hold more than
$2T offshore today. In the second half of the show, Jack reviews growing
events in Europe, with French workers and students staging massive
protests against ‘labor law reforms’, Dutch voters rejecting inclusion
of Ukraine into the EU, why odds favor a UK (Brexit) from the Eurozone
this June, why a Greek ‘Grexit’ may follow as the IMF threatens to
renege on last August’s Greek bailout, and new evidence of a Germany
economic slowdown. (For further analysis of Europe, see except of Jack’s
chapter 6, ‘Europe’s Chronic Stagnation’, from his 2016 book, ‘Systemic
Fragility in the Global Economy’, posted on his kyklosproductions
website above).
