They've discovered that direct stealing from bank accounts is so much more efficient than:
(1) Paying for elections of corrupt officials to pass corrupt ''tax'' laws and then;
(2) Having to setup an agency to collect the ''taxes'' and then;
(3) Hire ''tax'' revenue agents to steal for that agency.
This way they've reduced corporate costs and the need for exorbitant employee overhead, such a salaries, health benefits and retirement pensions. And maybe they'll also discuss that they're even considering an IMF-ATM card that allows someone like Lloyd Blankfein or Jamie Dimon to just zip their little cards into any IMF-ATM worldwide and steal whatever amount of cash they need from any nation, and any citizen, in any country because.... well just because they can!
- And I think free WH meals was included in the special ''Wall Street campaign donations'' program too.
