Anger over Christine Lagarde's tax-free salary
independent.co.uk
It was called her "Let them eat cake" moment. Now Greece will be saying: "Make her pay tax".
The IMF chief Christine Lagarde was accused of hypocrisy yesterday after it emerged that she pays no income tax – just days after blaming the Greeks for causing their financial peril by dodging their own bills.
The managing director of the International Monetary Fund is paid a salary of $467,940 (£298,675), automatically increased every year according to inflation. On top of that she receives an allowance of $83,760 – payable without "justification" – and additional expenses for entertainment, making her total package worth more than the amount received by US President Barack Obama according to reports last night.
Unlike Mr Obama, however, she does not have to pay any tax on this substantial income because of her diplomatic status.
The news will intensify criticism of the former French Finance Minister following her controversial remarks on the increasingly bleak prospects for the Greek economy last week. Stating that she had more sympathy for poor African children with little education than for jobless people complaining about austerity measures in Greece, she said last week: "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."
Speaking to The Guardian, she added that they could "help themselves collectively" by "all paying their tax," and agreed that it was "payback time" for ordinary Greeks...MORE...LINK

Chris Moore comments:
Lagarde is part of the international plutocratic oligarchy, with its self-serving, self-righteous double standards and racist, two-faced mentality..."Good for me, but not for thee."
These international "elites" have no loyalty to individual countries or regions; they exist in an insular bubble, spiriting themselves from place to place, handing down "crucial" mandates to the "peons," as if ordained on high, but that somehow never apply to themselves.
It's all modeled on international Communism, which itself was modeled on Zionism...a vanguard "nation of priests" ordering the rest of us to worship them, and instructing us how we should live, even as they exempt themselves from the very same rules that are so "sinful" for the rest of us to break.
The irony is, this "nation of priests" is comprised of the most hypocritical, racist, scurrilous, perverted, mentally warped snakes on earth...as is the international finance oligarchy.
Pharisaic scum, the lot.
