As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.

Ikea is a hyperbole that the liberals and elites look to as a success in up-scale. They however forget to mention or dont even know the corporate structure of Ikea and how the corporation pays close to zero taxes. Ikea is not only one of the world's largest wood consumers, it is also one of the world's largest charities. Ikea was setup up as a charitable foundation in the 60's or 70's. Sounds ok so far, but... Ikea is one of the least charitible charities in the world. In fact if you do more research you can find many stories on the intricate tax loops and dodges which in the end allow Ikea to only pay 3.4% effective corporate tax. The foundation does make huge payments to oddly named shell companies, which seem to be owned by the original family that started Ikea the Kamprads.
Even though I know this, I still have shopped at Ikea. I find it interesting that the Dutch and other countries allow them to continue to get around taxes. Image is everything according to some.
