I have an old book here - The International Man by Doug Casey, which was published in 1978. It lists the tax rates for several countries. For example, the income tax went up to 75% in Japan, 71% in the Netherlands, 70% in Norway, 55% in Singapore, 80% in Sweden, 83% in the UK, 70% in the US and 56% in West-Germany.<p>I&#x27;m wondering if maybe there might be a correlation between unreasonably high taxes and tax havens? If the tax rate is reasonable, say 20-30%, then I probably won&#x27;t bother trying to evade taxes myself and I won&#x27;t have much sympathy with others doing it (greedy assholes!). However, if the tax rate is like 70-80%, then yeah, putting some money in a tax haven becomes tempting and I will have much sympathy with other tax dodgers.
