greedy africans! they would love to get their hands on that kind of money!
FYI: Africa has asked for 64bln a year to plug the continent-wide deficit, but you wanna know something funny? Western companies use tax-constructions to skim off about 500bln a year in taxes.

not exactly, but since i'm not an economist I can't tell the details of it. In ay case as far as I know the companies do have to pay some form of tax on their revenues/profits, but what they do is add the numbers from all their branches (African, European and such) and then redistribute the number favouring the Western countries, so they'll have to pay more here than in Africa while in fact it should have been the other way around.

Well, they make more in Africa than in Europe but make it appear as if they actually make more here than there, in the worst cases. Otherwise they'll simply 'rebalance' the total revenues in favour of European or American branches.
Will try to link up that article, but it'll be a high res scan of the article bro...
