Every tax cent that is wasted in a country comes at the expense of the poorest of the poor.

Former inhabitants of a country were the owners of the capital in that country and both import and export of capital were marginal. Meanwhile it is no longer clear who owns what exactly, nor where the owners are located; homeownership is traceable as is the ownership of some other things but more and more capital gets out of sight.
