New Video Illustrates the
Moral Case for
Tax Havens
(Washington,
DC, October 22, 2008)
Today, the
Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation released it's
second installment of a three-part mini-documentary series on the beneficial
impact of low-tax jurisdictions. The CF&P Foundation's new video,
entitled
The Moral Case for Tax Havens, explores the many ethical reasons to
support these pro-market regimes. Much of the world is plagued by corrupt
and tyrannical governments, for instance, and so-called tax havens enable
oppressed subjects the ability to protect their assets from seizure.
Narrated by Dan Mitchell of the
Cato Institute, the video also cites empirical and historical
evidence to illustrate why attacks against low-tax jurisdiction are
hypocritical.

Andrew Quinlan, the president of the CF&P Foundation,
remarked "Even international bureaucracies such as the UN and the OECD have
acknowledged that tax havens protect human rights. It is therefore very
disappointing that these bureaucracies nonetheless act as if
extraterritorial tax claims are more important than defending against
oppression."
The
mini-documentary continues CF&P's exploration into why tax havens have
proven so beneficial to the global economy.
Part I explained the economic benefits of
low-tax jurisdictions, and Part III will explore myths and facts
about tax havens (released next month).

Executive Summary for The Moral Case for Tax Havens:
This Center for Freedom and
Prosperity Foundation video demonstrates that low-tax jurisdictions offer
millions of people around the world a safe haven
from tyrannical and oppressive government. For this, and many other reasons,
there is a powerful moral case for preserving and promoting tax havens. This
mini-documentary is the second installment of a three-part series on the
beneficial impact of low-tax jurisdictions. In addition to showing how tax
havens promote human rights and individual liberty, the video exposes the
hypocritical anti-tax competition efforts of statist international
bureaucracies such as the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development.
