The famous deficit would be fixed up. If tax avaidance is not restricted we continue to have deficits and budget cuts.”

Kuuluisa kestävyysvaje olisi hoidettu. Ellei veronkiertoa suitsija, vajeista ja budjettileikkauksista päästä eroon.

“Björn Wahlroos declared as freedom the most rich persons tax declines and cuts in everything beneficial for the poor. Nokia applies the freedom of Wahlroos. Year 2010 Nokia paied taxes in Finland €1.5 million while three years earlier it paid almost a thousand fold €1.3 billion.”

Source: Nallen ja Nokian vapaus Voima 4/2012 page 11 Björn Wahlroos julisti vapaudeksi kaikkein upporikkaimpien veronkevennykset ja leikkaukset kaikkeen siihen, mistä köyhät hyötyvät. Nokia soveltaa Wahlroos vapautta. Vuonna 2010 Nokia maksoi Suomeen veroja 1,5 miljoonaa, kolme vuotta aikaisemmin melkein tuhatkertaisesti 1,3 miljardia. Sillä on väliä, onko yritysverotuksella EU-maissa yhtenäiset säännöt vai ei. Ylikansalliset firmat voivat kikkailla hyödyntämällä eri maiden verotuksen eroja. Kikkailun laillisuutta on vaikea tarkistaa, koska veroviranomaiset eivät julkista tietoja siitä, minne firma veronsa maksaa.
