Why are they being targetted by the G20?

Are they jealous that well run economies like Switzerland, HK and Singapore are able to function without butt fking their residents for thousands of taxes that are then spent on non-jobs and bks like climate change?

Maybe if they gave me more of my money back, I'd spend it in local businesses that create jobs and growth without Winky employing paper shufflers on my behalf.

The G20 have to get their own houses in order before dictating to others.

The tax havens they are targetting are far smaller than Switzerland & Hong Kong (surely a low tax country rather than a 'tax haven')

You have to question how someone can live in Britain yet avoid tax simply by moving funds to Guernsey etc.

That's what I thought until I heard Switzerland, HK and Singa explicitly mentioned on the news

They are looking for scapegoats, along with the inception of a larger international currency. My opinion is that it's a significant part of the long term plan from the powers that be,

A single currency controlled by the IMF would allow a single central bank to be more powerful than any institution currently in existence. As a result it would surely allow the devaluation of any given currency (possibly still under the guide of market forces). Obviously it will be sold to the feckless as 'the only solutuin' which it may well be if the those feckless morons manage to push though the concept of a 'stimulus package' (print more money). Brown is desperate to reinflate the bubble and will stop at nothing to get his way
