You know there's something messed up about your economy when the citizens who have the cash in full to buy a property are willing to pay the full purchase price plus annual interest just to get a place outside the borders.

Edit: Oh, and then leave the place derelict even.

Marti is going full Trump on us. :(

Someone should check if his name is on the list.

I am not rich enough. :(
Didn't you describe a rather shady arrangement by which you're minimizing your taxes?

Err, no. I am just doing what every lawyer in this country is doing, that is working as a self-employed professional rather than an employee, which allows me to pay a 19% flat income tax rate.

So you're being employed as a self-employed professional?  :hmm:

Yes. Besides, the state spends the money on stupid stuff and doesn't even allow me to marry - so why should I share the product of my hard work with it. :P

You don't see how this kind of chicanery may be viewed in the same light as the other stuff in Panama Papers:  technically legal but highly dubious?

1. Everybody is doing this.
2. I have already said I don't find anything wrong with Panama Papers. Haters gonna hate.

I wonder if Marty will have to go to jail.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

About as likely as Hillary.
