A Note From the President…
Friend,
I’m sure you’ve heard about the so-called Panama Papers. But if you’re only hearing from the mainstream media, you’re not getting the whole story.
Right now, opponents of tax competition and financial privacy are spinning the Panama Papers leak to serve their agenda. It’s just the latest chapter in their long running fight to dictate tax rates across the globe.
They won’t rest until your taxes are raised much, much higher. And they’ve got the media firmly on their side.
I want to make sure you get the real story. Below you will find coverage of the story from CF&P experts, as well as a collection of the best outside analysis.
Don’t let them trick you into supporting their big government agenda.
Sincerely,
Andrew F. Quinlan,
President, Center for Freedom and Prosperity
