More real tax abuse

An important thing to remember is the key (unwritten) criteria used by the hyper-tax enthusiasts when defining "tax abuse":

the individual never pays enough in taxes to government

The phrase "tax abuse" is never uttered on the hallowed websites of the hyper-tax enthusiasts when governments are caught out shame-faced and wasting tax receipts already gang pressed out of the individual. In the mind of the hyper-tax enthusiasts there is never a wasted penny spent by government .... the only wasted penny is that which is left in the hands of the individual.

While railing against "secrecy jurisdictions" used to protect the pockets of the individual from the septic hand of statist-based governmentalism, the very same learned websites are themselves a hypocritical "secrecy jurisdiction" in never exhibiting the same nous when governmentalism fails ad nauseum. To wit, do not expect to read anything regarding real tax abuse from the statist websites regarding the latest governmental "bungle":

Millions of pounds of British taxpayers' money has been mistakenly used to fund the health service in Ireland, the Conservatives said yesterday.

Britain has been overpaying the Irish Government by an estimated €200 million (£180 million) a year in a deal between the two countries, prompting the Conservatives to call for a parliamentary inquiry into the "waste" of NHS funds.

Note, that is per year. If anything the above strengthens the argument for tax havens. Perhaps real tax havens where the money goes and truly "disappears". Given your druthers would you rather have that last penny kept in the hands that earned it, yours -or- pumped down the never-ending rat-hole of statist-based governmentalism?
