Tax Me If You Can

With rig­or, and a dose of humor, Tax Me If You Can explains the mech­a­nisms of tax havens and demon­strates how tax eva­sion, an essen­tial cog in the neolib­er­al sys­tem, accel­er­ates the growth of eco­nom­ic inequality. 

SYNOPSIS

The wealthiest individuals and companies have fewer and fewer scruples, and more and more means at their disposal, to escape taxation. And so, without any sense of guilt, they fuel the progressive ruin of wealth redistribution. With rigor and a certain amount of humor, this documentary explains the mechanisms of tax havens, reveals the politicians' rhetoric to combat them, and shows how tax evasion is not a flaw in the neoliberal system that we can live with, but one of its essential cogs that accelerate the growth of inequality.

Theme(s) : , Democracy, Economy, Human Rights, Politics
