What a slobbering hypocrite. Probably be appointed to the fed after little timmy leaves.

"Lagarde, predicting that the debt crisis has yet to run its course, adds: "Do you know what? As far as Athens is concerned, I also think about all those people who are trying to escape tax all the time. All these people in Greece who are trying to escape tax." She says she thinks "equally" about Greeks deprived of public services and Greek citizens not paying their tax.
"I think they should also help themselves collectively." Asked how, she replies: "By all paying their tax."


It's payback time: don't expect sympathy



This woman makes more than our president and doesn't pay a penny in taxes.


"Christine Lagarde, the IMF boss who caused international outrage after she suggested in an interview with the Guardian on Friday that beleaguered Greeks might do well to pay their taxes, pays no taxes, it has emerged.
As an official of an international institution, her salary of $467,940 (£298,675) a year plus $83,760 additional allowance a year is not subject to any taxes."

The IMF is nothing more than a group of financial vultures acting as a collection agency for the international Loan Sharks. It and the gangsters should all be ignored.

If the law states that she pays no taxes because she works for an international organization then that is the law right? She can make an observation (that is probably true) as the spokesperson for an International Financial organization because that is her job.

Romney pays around 15% in taxes because of the tax laws and that is okay because it's how the tax laws work correct? This woman pays no tax because of tax laws correct? Who cares?

It's not as if she never paid any taxes. That's how these international jobs are structured.

Regardless of her situation, she is correct that the greeks have a massive problem with people not paying taxes.

The greeks are like that one roomate that never wants to pay their share of the rent....

Don't we all wish we could structure our jobs in the same manner? Yes, it is how it is structured and she is complaining about those who wish the same for themselves.
