The Tax Justice Network promotes transparency in international finance and opposes secrecy. We support a level playing field on tax and we oppose loopholes and distortions in tax and regulation, and the abuses that flow from them. We promote tax compliance and we oppose tax evasion, tax avoidance, and all the mechanisms that enable owners and controllers of wealth to escape their responsibilities to the societies on which they and their wealth depend. Tax havens, or secrecy jurisdictions as we prefer to call them, lie at the centre of our concerns, and we oppose them.
Take a look at our core themes:
- We support sustainable finance for development
- We support international co-operation on tax, regulation and crime
- We oppose tax havens and offshore finance
- We support transparency and we oppose corruption
- We support a level playing field in competitive markets
- We support progressive and equitable taxation
- We support corporate responsibility and accountability
- We support tax compliance and a culture of responsbility
These issues affect rich and poor countries, and, like the fight against corruption, our approach does not fit easily into either of the old political categories of left and right. We do not argue generally for high or low taxes (that is for voters to decide) but we note the often better human development outcomes in higher-tax countries and oppose the demonisation of tax that is fashionable in some circles. What we do support is progressive and equitable taxation, which is what voters around the world have chosen. We wish to see nations' sovereignty restored, so that electorates are given back the power to get the tax systems they vote for. To this end we advocate much stronger co-operation between states on tax and regulation. This will help us address the growing tension between global integration and a shortage of credible international governance.
For more details, see "Resources," to the left of this page.
Who are we?
The Tax Justice Network is led by economists, tax and financial professionals, accountants, lawyers, academics and writers, and we are driven by original research and ideas. We are supported by a growing community of individuals, economists, faith groups, non-governmental organisations, academics, lawyers, trade unions -- and many others. (Read more)
Why tax and tax havens?
Tax is the foundation of good government and a key to the wealth or poverty of nations. Yet it is under attack. These places allow big companies and wealthy individuals to benefit from the onshore benefits of tax – like good infrastructure, education and the rule of law – while using the offshore world to escape their responsibilities to pay for it. The rest of us shoulder the burden.
Tax havens offer not only low or zero taxes, but something broader. What they do is to provide facilities for people or entities to get around the rules, laws and regulations of other jurisdictions, using secrecy as their prime tool. We therefore often prefer the term "secrecy jurisdiction" instead of the more popular "tax haven."
The corrupted international infrastructure allowing élites to escape tax and regulation is also widely used by criminals and terrorists. As a result, tax havens are heightening inequality and poverty, corroding democracy, distorting markets, undermining financial and other regulation and curbing economic growth, accelerating capital flight from poor countries, and promoting corruption and crime around the world.
The offshore system is a blind spot in international economics and in our understanding of the world. The issues are multi-faceted, and tax havens are steeped in secrecy and complexity – which helps explain why so few people have woken up to the scandal of offshore, and why civil society has been almost silent on international taxation for so long. We seek to supply expertise and analysis to help open tax havens up to proper scrutiny at last, and to make the issues understandable by all.
The fight against tax havens is one of the great challenges of our age. Our approach challenges basic tenets of traditional economic theory and opens new fields of analysis on a diverse array of important issues such as foreign aid, capital flight, corruption, climate change, corporate responsibility, political governance, hedge funds, inequality, morality – and much more. (Read more in Part II of our Manifesto for Tax Justice)
How big is the problem, and what is its nature?
Assets held offshore, beyond the reach of effective taxation, are equal to about a third of total global assets. Over half of all world trade passes through tax havens. Developing countries lose revenues far greater than annual aid flows. We estimate, conservatively, that the amount of financial assets held offshore ranges between $21 and 32 trillion.
Offshore finance is not only based in islands and small states: `offshore' has become an insidious growth within the entire global system of finance. The largest financial centres such as London and New York, and countries like Switzerland and Singapore, offer secrecy and other special advantages to attract foreign capital flows. As corrupt dictators and other élites strip their countries' financial assets and relocate them to these financial centres, developing countries' economies are deprived of local investment capital and their governments are denied desperately needed tax revenues. This helps capital flow not from capital-rich countries to poor ones, as traditional economic theories might predict, but, perversely, in the other direction.
Countries that lose tax revenues become more dependent on foreign aid. Research shows, for example, that sub-Saharan Africa is a net creditor to the rest of the world in the sense that external assets, measured by the stock of capital flight, exceed external liabilities, as measured by the stock of external debt. The difference is that while the assets are in private hands, the liabilities are the public debts of African governments and their people. (Read more)
Globalisation and international trade and finance have got a bad name of late. Each brings opportunities, and risks. We must now start to address seriously what may be the biggest risk of all: tax abuse, and tax havens and everything they stand for.
What can you do?
Our resources are small, yet the huge, well-funded public and private interests that oppose us have no answers to the agenda we are setting. Our message is starting to spread fast. Please join us, support us, and engage with the emerging debate.
Our core themes are briefly outlined below. The Resources section to the left of this page has more details.
We support sustainable finance for development
Tax is the most sustainable source of finance for development. The long-term goal of poor countries must be to replace foreign aid dependency with tax self-sufficiency. Developing nations in Africa, Latin America and elsewhere are especially vulnerable to the offshore world. Action on tax has the potential to deliver gains to poor countries that are orders of magnitude greater than what can be achieved with aid. To meet the Millennium Development Goals, OECD countries have been urged to raise their levels of aid to 0.7 percent of Gross National Income – but this is as nothing when compared to potential tax revenues: in some rich countries, tax constitutes over 40 percent of GDP.
Tax is the link between state and citizen, and tax revenues are the lifeblood of the social contract. The very act of taxation has profoundly beneficial effects in fostering better and more accountable government. It is astonishing that so many members of the aid community have ignored tax for so long. Action on international taxation is, quite simply, the key to lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. Read More
We support international co-operation on tax, regulation and crime
The tax policies of one country can seriously harm the citizens of another. In the 19th and 20th Centuries, rich nations agreed that a balance should be struck between corporations, governments and societies. Tax and regulation lay at the heart of these democratic contracts, and it was feasible to set up coherent systems under single nation states. But these grand bargains began to unravel in the 1920s, as multinational companies began to emerge as a force in world markets and exploit cross-border loopholes to reduce their taxes. This accelerated in the 1970s, as financial liberalisation increasingly allowed companies to shop around for jurisdictions to escape tax and regulation. Tax havens are now intensifying competition between jurisdictions on tax and regulation in a beggar-my-neighbour scramble to attract international capital, undermining already weak regulation of public companies and stock exchanges. International efforts to tackle this harmful "tax competition" are, to date, feeble, and the amount of wealth offshore is growing fast.
Insular, nationally-based approaches cannot do justice to these challenges. From the perspective of individual countries, it may be relatively easy to argue in favour of cracking down on outflows of money into tax havens, but it is far harder to challenge the inflows. Only a global approach will do: this means co-operation between nations on tax havens. Far from weakening state sovereignty, as is sometimes suggested, stronger tax cooperation is the best way to strengthen national tax systems in this age of globally mobile capital. Read More
We oppose tax havens and offshore finance
Tax havens and offshore financial centres have created an interface between the illicit and licit economies, corrupting national tax regimes and onshore regulation. The result is a shift of the tax burden away from capital and onto labour, and a dramatic rise in income and wealth inequality, as well as the corruption of democracies around the world as élites escape their responsibilities with impunity. Supporters of tax havens point to the wealth enjoyed by such tax havens as Switzerland or the Cayman Islands to bolster their arguments. This is like pointing to the wealth of a corrupt politician and arguing that corruption is therefore a good thing: tax havens effectively appropriate other countries' taxes for themselves.
We recognise that some small island economies depend heavily on hosting harmful tax practices, and may lose investment and economic growth from efforts to tackle the abuses. But the harm these activities cause are orders of magnitudes greater than any claimed benefits. We propose multilateral support for these countries to assist with re-structuring as part of efforts to clean up the tax haven scandal. In any case, the biggest culprits are the big financial centres such as in Britain, the United States and Switzerland. Read More
We support transparency and we oppose corruption
The Tax Justice Network supports transparency and opposes secrecy in international finance. We want companies to be made more open about their financial affairs and to publish data on every country where they operate. We want the finances of wealthy individuals to be visible to their tax authorities, so they pay their fair share of tax. Markets work better, and companies are more accountable, in an environment of transparency. Secrecy hinders criminal investigation and fosters criminality and corruption such as insider trading, market rigging, tax evasion, fraud, embezzlement, bribery, the illicit funding of political parties – and much more. We want to expand the commonly accepted definitions of corruption so that they no longer focus only on narrow aspects of the problem such as bribery. We must bring tax, tax avoidance and tax evasion decisively into the corruption debate.
Corruption, crime and corporate abuse have a demand side (such as the theft of public assets by a politician) and a supply side – the provision of corruption services, like the concealment of a politician's stolen assets offshore. Tax havens and associated activities stimulate the demand side – so they are a central part of the corruption problem. Eva Joly, an investigating magistrate who broke open the "Elf Affair" in France (Europe's biggest corruption investigation since the Second World War) was furious about how tax havens stonewalled her probes. She compared magistrates to sheriffs in the spaghetti westerns who watch the bandits celebrate on the other side of the Rio Grande. "They taunt us – and there is nothing we can do." As she says, the fight against tax havens must be "Phase Two" in the international fight against corruption. Read More
We support a level playing field in competitive markets
We support simplicity and a level playing field on tax. Complexity and loopholes provide a windfall for a pinstripe infrastructure of lawyers, bankers and accountants and distort markets, undermining market competition, mis-directing investment, and rewarding economic free-riders. These distortions favour multinational companies over national ones; they promote big companies over small, and they hinder start-up companies in the face of established vested interests. New forms of finance that have become prominent recently, such as hedge funds and private equity companies, greatly benefit from lower tax rates, lack of transparency and minimal accountability which provide them with competitive advantages over their peers that have nothing to do with efficiency or innovation in the real world, or with the quality or price of what they offer. Companies wishing to act in an ethical manner find themselves at a competitive disadvantage vis à vis their more irresponsible competitors. Read More
We favour progressive and equitable taxation
We support progressive taxation, founded on the basic principle that tax should be based on ability to pay - that is, the wealthy should pay higher rates of tax. The principle of progressive taxation has been supported almost unanimously by democratic choices in countries around the world – and we support those choices. To advocate progressive taxation is to oppose regressive tax systems where the poorer sections of society pay a higher share of their income. Financing public goods, according to voters' wishes and ability to pay, mitigates inequality, which is one of the greatest political challenges facing the world today.
Tax systems should also be comprehensive, containing layers of different taxes such as income tax, corporation tax, enviromental taxes, inheritance taxes, customs duties and so on. Different taxes have different functions, and tax systems should contain an appropriate mix of them all. Read More
We support corporate responsibility and accountability
Tax is the forgotten element in the corporate social responsibility debate – and probably the most important. We believe that corporate responsibility starts with paying tax.
We oppose a financial and legalistic approach to tax, which focuses exclusively on the boundary between what is legal (tax avoidance) and what is illegal (tax evasion.) Instead we favour an accountability-driven approach, differentiating between what is responsible, and what is not. A responsible approach sees tax not as a cost to a company to be avoided, but like a dividend: a distribution out of profits to all stakeholders. Companies do not make profit merely by using investors' capital. They also use the societies in which they operate -- whether the physical infrastructure provided by the state, the people the state has educated, or the legal infrastructure that allows companies to protect their rights. Tax is the return due on this investment by society from which companies benefit.
We suppport greater transparency in corporate reporting. We want to see corporate tax policies brought firmly and transparently into wider governance frameworks such as business principles and corporate values. We also support intervention to protect company directors who wish to behave in an ethical manner from being undermined by predatory actors who thrive on abuse. Read more
We favour tax compliance and a culture of responsbility
Tax compliance means paying the right tax in the right place at the right time. We want to see the restoration of a culture of tax compliance among individuals, corporations, tax professionals, and governments, and an ethical approach to tax. They should follow not only the letter of the law, but the spirit of the law, with respect to their tax affairs.
Both tax evasion and tax avoidance are anti-social and equally harmful. Tax avoidance may be the more so, because it is so insidious. Highly paid professionals spend their lives devising ingenious schemes to reduce or eliminate the tax liability of wealthy people, and they have set themselves up as the "experts" on international taxation, developing and propagating a world view that sees these kinds of abuses as acceptable. Huge, well-resourced vested interests support them and have skewered international efforts to address the problems. Politicians, economists and civil society groups, perhaps daunted by the complexity of the issues or unable to see or measure what is happening in the secret world of offshore, too rarely challenge this world view. Meanwhile, tax authorities rarely have the staff or time to combat the enormous resources and wiles of the tax avoidance industry. The resulting mouse-and-cat game – besides its effect on corrupting democracy – is enormously wasteful.
It is time for change. Our code of conduct on taxation outlines our approach. Civil society groups, economists, journalists, and ordinary people need to rouse themselves and make this one of the great political struggles of this young century.

Representatives from Junior Troop 3393 (left to right) Lauren Horn and Kimberly Vespo are shown displaying the new patch with (back, left to right) Bethpage Water District Commissioners Sal Greco, Jr. And William Ellinger. Sponsored by the Long Island Water Conference, a trade association of Long Island's public wafer suppliers, in conjuction with the Girl Scouts of Nassau County, the program was designed to help educate youngsters about the importance of conserving our water supply. To participate, the girls had to keep track of how many gallons of water they could save around the house and record the amount on an activity sheet, which was printed on paper made from recycled blue jeans. For example, each time they ran the dishwasher with full loads instead of smaller loads, four gallons of water were saved. In addition, activities such as researching where their tap water comes from as well as creating and displaying posters that explain why our most precious resource is important helped the scouts gain knowledge of an appreciation for long island's drinking water supply. Altogether, the 700 girls who participated saved more than 170,000 gallons of water. The pilot program was offered this past year to a cross-section of 1,700 girls in 150 troops. Another group of equal size will be encouraged to participate once again this coming fall. "We were pleased to have so many youngsters complete the patch requirements," said Karl Dahlem, chairperson of the Long Island Water Conference. "This innovative approach helps us to fulfill one of our main goals - encouraging Long Islanders of all ages to learn more about their excellent public drinking water supply." The Long Island Water Conference, established in 1951, is a professional organization dedicated to providing and maintaining an pure and plentiful public water supply on Long Island. Members include Nassau- Suffolk water suppliers, consulting engineers, attorneys, water contractors and officials from governmental regulatory agencies. ML -M ML -^ ML ^ _ w -^

The West's Glorious Journey: What You Don't Know
Modernity developed only in the West—in Europe and North America. Nowhere else did science and democracy arise; nowhere else was slavery outlawed. Only Westerners invented chimneys, musical scores, telescopes, eyeglasses, pianos, electric lights, aspirin, and soap.
The question is, Why?
Unfortunately, that question has become so politically incorrect that most scholars avoid it. But acclaimed author Rodney Stark provides the answers in his sweeping new survey of Western civilization.
How the West Won demonstrates the primacy of uniquely Western ideas—among them the belief in free will, the commitment to the pursuit of knowledge, the idea that the universe functions according to rational rules that can be discovered, and the emphasis on human freedom and secure property rights. Stark debunks absurd fabrications that have flourished in the past few decades: that the Greeks stole their culture from Africa; that the West's "discoveries" were all copied from the Chinese and Muslims; that Europe became affluent by plundering the non-Western world. At the same time, he reveals the woeful inadequacy of recent attempts to attribute the rise of the West to purely material causes—to favorable climates, abundant natural resources, guns and steel.
Taking readers on a fascinating journey from ancient Greece to the age of imperialism, How the West Won challenges much of the received wisdom about Western history. Stark shows, for example, why the fall of Rome was the single most beneficial event in the rise of Western civilization; why the "Dark Ages" never happened; why the Crusaders did not march east in pursuit of land and loot or to attack the Muslim world unprovoked; and why there was no scientific "revolution" in the seventeenth century—these brilliant achievements were simply the culmination of scientific progress stretching back centuries.

Symantec's Peer to Peer (P2P) NAC capability adds a twist to computer security: It can restrict groups of endpoints deploying Symantec NAC software to talk only to other endpoints in their group and other endpoints that meet security policy requirements. The software does not restrict what servers endpoints can reach. It does, however, add an additional means to mitigate risk of infection by peer devices. This in turn can augment security of government networks.

Classic Car News
Mini salutes Porsche 911's 50th
Image: Sicnag, 2011; Collector Car Ads, 2010
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the creation of the iconic Porsche 911, so it is interesting to see that this landmark was celebrated by Mini this month.
While the Mini Cooper may be a long way from matching the performance of even a classic 911, Auto Evolution points out that these two cars are not entirely dissimilar from one another.
The closet link is that both models have stayed with the same basic designs for many decades, as well as retaining the essence of driving fun from the early days.
A press release from Mini marking the occasion of the 911's 50th anniversary noted the similarities between the two vehicles and said that it is the youthful exuberance of both models that has kept them going over the years.
A Mini Cooper is a much more affordable classic to track down than a vintage Porsche 911, as well as being a bit cheaper to restore and run. The press shots published by Mini, which show one of its older iterations sitting alongside an ageing 911, prove that these are two equally spirited classics, that deserve the love and adoration that they have received over the years.

For all practical purposes, Western literature begins with the Iliad. The Epic of Gilgamesh, while at least 1,000 years older, is neither as well-known nor as influential as Homer's work. We still use expressions like "Achilles' heel," "Trojan horse," or "the face that launched a thousand ships," all with roots in the Iliad or the mythic cycle on which it is based, nearly 3,000 years after the poem was written. And at least in terms of the number of copies to survive from antiquity, the poems of Homer are second only to the Bible in popularity.
Although "Iliad" means "the story of Ilion," or Troy, the poem has much more to say about Achilles and Hector than it does about Troy. As the first word of the Greek text suggests ("Rage! Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus's son Achilles"), this poem has a lot to do with anger. Honor, glory, and fate are also frequent themes.
Among the things for which the Iliad is most famous are its use of epithets, or formulaic phrases to describe an individual, an object, or even some events. Also noteworthy is the poem's masterful use of similes.
For more than 1,500 years the Iliad and the Odyssey set the standard by which epic poetry, if not all poetry of any kind, was judged. The epic form in poetry has not been widely practiced since the appearance of John Milton's Paradise Lost in 1667, but the story of the fall of Troy has remained a perennial favorite to the present day.

weight issues are so personal.
i was receiving a lot of emails asking if i had lost weight and so i decided to share this with you.
i know right off that a lot of you are going to say that i didn't need to lose weight.
but i thought i did...and so i did.
i emphasize that this is my story because i am not an expert on dieting, in fact this is the first time i have actually been on a restrictive diet.
but what i did worked for me and maybe it can work for you.
four years ago, when i turned 50, i was 5'6 and weighed 120 lbs. i was a confirmed vegan and pretty much ate what i pleased and was not bothered by the fact that i had gained a pound or two. fast forward to six months ago at my most recent check up i measured 5'5 and was now 130 lbs. i was shrinking and growing at the same time. i hated how i felt in my jeans. skirts were hard to button and tight and i was looking to size up again. despite my vegan diet, my energy level was dropping and the dreaded middle age spread that everyone says is inevitable was upon me. tabitha wrote a very interesting and funny post last month on the way women's waists have gotten larger over the last 60 years. and you know what? it was happening to me. you can read her post here.
this little tool, sustainable table,
is invaluable for that. all i have to do is enter the area of the country i'm in and bam...a whole list of vegetables and fruits that are in season in my area appear. this made menu planning much easier and it continues to inspire me to want to eat fresh everyday.
i think this is called mindfulness.
oh and btw, i cut out all alcohol and switched to sparkling water at dinner.
i learned a lot of these tips from
my calorie counter
i signed up online and they send me all kinds of great tips and information.
as you can see, nothing is revolutionary here.
i ate less and moved more.
lovingkindness to you all.

Brett Favre Is Back! Well, As A Color Commentator For One College Football Game Anyway
You've missed Brett Favre so much. And finally, he's returning. Sort of...
Next Saturday, October 1st, Favre will serve as the color commentator for the CSS (Comcast Sports Southeast) broadcast of the Rice-Southern Miss (his alma mater) game:
CSS, the regional sports channel focused on sports throughout the South, has announced that former Southern Miss and future NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre will serve as color analyst for its live coverage of the Rice at Southern Miss game on Saturday, October 1 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
"I'm excited to be back at Southern Miss with the Golden Eagles," said Favre, who played quarterback for the team from 1987-1990. He added, "I'm not committing to a new career in broadcasting, but just wanted to support Southern Miss and check out the view from the press box. It should be fun and I hope the fans enjoy it."
"CSS is thrilled to have Brett share his knowledge and insight as color analyst", says General Manager Mark Fuhrman. "We've had a great relationship with Conference USA for many years and I know our viewers will enjoy hearing Brett's perspective on the game."
Source: CSS
Joining Favre on the broadcast will be play-by-play announcer Mike Morgan. (You may remember him from last night.)
Unfortunately, since CSS is a regional sports channel, not all of us will get to hear Favre's thoughts on denim and sexting.
In all seriousness, if Favre does a solid job as an analyst, you know that the Worldwide Leader will do everything possible to land him. But, I'm sure they've been trying to do that anyway.

Kerri Copello joined Fox 31 in August 2011 as the weekend meteorologist, bringing along her passion for weather.
Each day at MillerCoors, about 220,000 cases of beer isproduced and shipped all across the southeast. In the summer month, the heat of the Deep South made working conditions uncomfortable, that was until engineers found a new way to beat the heat.
Southwest Georgia is known to turn up the heat during the summer months. MillerCoors found a unique way to beat the heat and lower the temperature without having to lower the thermostat.
"We needed a new roof anyway so were putting a new roof on and were just putting this extra coating on top of it to help with the heat load," says David Dixon, Environment Health and Safety Science specialist.
MillerCoors transformed their 500,000 square foot tar roof with a reflective covering. This 'cool roof' is the first of its kind in southwest Georgia.
What they're really trying to do is cut down on the cooling coast and increase the comfort of the workers down below, by putting this substance on and it reflects about 87 percent of the sun's rays so that heat load doesn't go into the building and make it hotter.
What exactly is it you ask?
David Dixon describes the elastic like a stretchy film. It's a fairly thick substance. You do roll it on or spray it on like paint but it's a little bit thicker.
A benefit to this elastic polymer is that it adds a fire retardant value to the roof where as the traditional tar roof does not.
With the latest measurements, even with the roof not completely finished yet, there is a ten degree cooling capacity now versus to what it was before they put the cool roof on there. Not only did they bring the thermostat down ten degrees, they lowered energy usage as well.
David Dixon says, "The total energy savings so far this year has been almost 6-6.5 percent, but that includes all those other things too."
