If you had to pick just ONE... [View all]

I know there is plenty of room for outrage, but let's just play a game where you had to pick which one is worse:

Exhibit A:
A 2012 report by the Tax Justice Network (TJN) found that untaxed wealth invested in offshore tax havens ran between $28 and $32 trillion dollars, equal to two years’ worth of U.S. economic output. The report estimated that if the money were to have been invested in home countries, even at low rates of return, it could have generated hundreds of billions of dollars per year in tax revenue.

Exhibit B:
NSA Surveillance Violates The Constitution. The NSA's massive new $2bn data center in Utah - built to spy on every American. Concerns over government Tyranny are legitimate.

Which Exhibit above concerns you more personally?
