Nice work if you can get it...

Christian Lagarde, who is telling the Greeks to pay their taxes, pays no tax herself, despite earning more than the US President.

Must be nice to adopt a high moral standpoint when you've got a nice cushy number for yourself ...

Google Breton Woods & IMF set-up, it explains why the US demanded this to be the case. ☺

Is she Greek? If not whats your point.

Bank manager, gives me a loan, expects me to pay it, just because he earns much more than me, should I not pay it?

I think that the op's point is that Lagarde's example is; 'if you can get out of paying any taxes do so'.

Well that is the attitude of many Greeks for years and she has criticised them for it.

Personally, i agree with Lagarde and the Greeks; give the government as little to waste as you can get away with.

Thanks, Baldric - in my righteous indignation, I didn't think the item had already been posted.

My point is that this lady should be willing to practice what she preaches.

Rather like the MPs' expenses saga, those who make their own rules shouldn't take advantage to feather their cushy nests...

BTW venator

They don't pay any income tax either!
