The recently published “Pandora’s Papers” outing the use of off shore facilities to hold massive wealth is a learning opportunity for we little people. Most of what was reported is actually crafty and legal use of current laws. That is, it is fine to stash away loads of money and other wealth to avoid domestic taxes. Looking at the names of who is doing this should tell you something very important. The people using these tactics are the very same people responsible for writing and implementing the rules.
Facebook and other social media are in the crosshairs of our esteemed Congress. Both sides of the aisle want to do something. Beware of letting the same thing happen to free speech here as has happened with domestic and international rules on banking. The people writing the rules will naturally have a bias toward making sure those rules are to their benefit and not yours. Resist any attempt to define “truth”, “misinformation”, “protected speech” or any other euphemism for throttling speech. God gave us the inherent right to speak what we think and our Constitution and the first amendment codify this right eloquently.
