They don't have taxes here :-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungle.

You could try that I suppose.


Yes, we agree that having no wealth is a good way to protect yourself from wealth confiscation. Just like being dead protects you from murder.



Yes, agreed.

But then wealth confiscation isn't really a problem for 3.5 billion members of the human race it would seem - the 85 richest individuals on the planet have as much wealth as one half of the worlds population put together - http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/jan/20/oxfam-85-richest-people-half-of-the-world - (one hell of a problem for those 85 lucky bastards though eh ? - most of whom will be from the USA btw ? ?  Grin)

Just as a matter of interest, how do people here believe that BTC will either improve or exacerbate this situation ?

I'm assuming of course that:-

       a) you view this inequality as a problem in the first place  

  and      b) you believe BTC will have any influence one way or the other.
