Many, even most independent observers no longer consider the US a democracy but rather a form of representative plutocracy (an electoral system dominated/controlled by the rich).  

 

The WEF/NMI is an attempt to project this aberration to becoming the governance structure initially for the Internet but according to their own documents, ultimately for all global governance.

Do you not understand that the system of representative democracy gave us the current regime of tax avoidance being legal?


 


These are the big biz folks who will now be multistakeholderizing through
their agent the WEF at the NMI.
  

Anyone want to bet how long before they take up the issues surrounding the
use of the Internet for tax avoidance and come up with a suitably
"multi-stakeholder" i.e. corporate friendly solution.

 

Don't demonise the Internet.  The current system of dodging taxes though offshore shell companies means they don't need to do it via the Internet.
