So I found this news story today. Rich people will do any thing to make sure they don't do their part to help society out. U2 made 389 million dollars on their last tour and the Rolling Stones made 425 million dollars on their 2006 tour. Using the Netherlands as a Tax shelter they had to pay about 1% in taxes. What really pisses me off is that Bono, who preaches to, and chastises governments all over the world for their lack of funding for AIDS help, could almost single- handedly fund the search for the cure or at least fund medication for those already infected. My favorite part of the story is that Coca-Cola pays Coca-Cola to use the name Coca-Cola on its products. All to avoid paying taxes. And we wonder why the world is in the mess that it is.
