Lincoln Anthony (8th Period)-Panama Papers

Recently, an anonymous hacker leaked a veritable treasure trove of information regarding important people like politicians and celebrities. These people had been using offshore accounts to evade taxes. Investigators have been sent in to find out more of what has been going on there.

So many people know that I am opposed to capitalism, especially modern capitalism and what it has become (Ⓐ), but the greed and just plain evil that is shown by the Panama Papers makes my enmity toward capitalism increase tenfold. I mean these people have way too much money to begin with. It all kind of hearkens back to the Gilded Age with the owners of the big business then with their monopolies and trusts and whatnot. It's sick.

  1. I like how with these blogs we get to see everyone's different interpretations and opinions on the same issues.

  2. You're right, this can totally be synthesized to the Guilded Age and robber barons. I think it's so gross the amount of greed some people can have, especially those who are practically rolling in money.
