Christine Lagarde pays no taxes

Christine Lagarde
Is anyone else as flabbergasted, even as angry as I am about this? It seems that Christine Lagarde, the IMF boss who last week railed against those Greeks who don't pay their taxes, doesn't pay what? You've guessed it, taxes. As the following report in the Guardian tells us:

"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."  

This is wrong, wrong, wrong. Things must be changed.

My name is Andrew James Brown. I’m a philosophically/theologically inclined writer with sympathies towards Imaoka Shin’ichirō's understanding of a creative, free spirituality (jiyū shūkyō 自由宗教), Jōdo Shinshū Buddhism, Christian atheism, D. G. Leahy’s “thinking now occurring for the first time”, a Lucretian inspired religious naturalism, new materialism and Kyoto School philosophy; also a photographer, cyclist, walker and jazz bass player. In addition to this, I’m the minister of a small, liberal, free religious community in Cambridge (UK)
