“Ending the estate tax would give a tax break of up to $63 billion to the Walton family and $39 billion to the Kochs—but $0 to 99.8% of Americans. At a time of record inequality, the very last thing we should do is line the pockets of the rich.”

“Ultimately, taxes are being paid for by your and my freedom because we have to spend more time to make the money to pay for those taxes. The current reality is that with a deficit that is going to double in the next eight years is that taxes, currently, as it stands right now, taxes are going up, unless there becomes a real movement to understand that we should be reducing taxes and not allowing taxes to increase.”

“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.
