Tax avoiding is hypocritical
Are there bigger problems to discuss? Yes. Is tax avoidance by celebrities - dedicated to good causes - problematic? Yes.
Bono is one of them, as reported in Slate. He is a good-doer but apparently doesn't want his tax money to finance poor people's social security. It appears that he recently relocated his business from Ireland in order to avoid taxation on royalties. Ireland is one of the poorest Western nations so taxes would certainly help the poor of that country.
Is it easier to sing about the poor far away than help your neighbor who is too close to you? Or is it easier to fundraise than to give your own money?
To be honest, I would like this to become an issue and the fans to speak up.
Bono, please, live like you sing!!!
