Almost daily and with the complicity of big financial entities, illegal actions by wealthy families to evade taxes get discovered. These are people with huge assets that can assume their fiscal responsibility without affecting their living standards. So, it is worth considering what motivates them to evade their responsibility towards the societies where they live. Are they ignorant? Do they disown their responsibilities? Do they realize that their tax offenses turn them into criminal offenders? Do they care about others? Or is it that the endless greediness and selfishness dominate them and make them adopt a double moral standard plagued by hypocrisy; that they are not able to emerge from an existential, self-destructive alienation? It is hard to understand why they behave the way they do when they have an excess of the resources they work to evade. Meanwhile, common citizens face a diversity of taxes and charges on their consumption, modest incomes, and the provision of essential services.
Do those big evaders suffer any type of remorse for what they do? Do they feel pity for those millions of families they harm by curtailing State resources to address health, education, security, social and productive infrastructure? Would their kids, families, and friends know that, beyond any euphemism, their evading actions constitute daylight robberies, scams, acts of piracy? It is unbelievable that these conducts exist and unconceivable that those who greatly harm our societies not only do not rectify their behavior but might even brag about their fame and wealth.
Too much to transform and to transform us, there we stand.
