If you took it greed, if the government takes it greed. The feds only own (and have a legitimate right to charge rent on) federally owned land, not all land. Moving your money around - Not greed, but a response to the greed of those who would take it. Even outright tax evasion (illegal actions to reduce taxes paid) are less expressions of greed than the tax itself is. Taxation is the government being greedy. Taxation is also theft or extortion. Necessary theft or extortion (but not necessary to the extent that we have taxes today).

Moving money offshore is not illegal - it was already subject to taxation - what you're confusing this with is money made overseas and not repatriated as it would be taxed at seriously high rates. Lower the tax rates for foreign earned income and it will return and can be taxed.

If I took ypur money, greed. More like theft.. If the government takes yer money..the rent you pay to live here If the government takes my money and gives it to parasites, that's also theft.. Moving money offshore to avoid paying rent... greed Moving money offshore to avoid paying extortion is being smart.. You notice none of these avoiders are willing to move to the Caymans and rely on the Cayman Navy to protect them from North Korean subs? North Korean subs putting around the Caribbean? LOL! Try again, Ratty..
