Allegedly Christine Lagarde, as head of the IMF draws a tax free salary of £350,000. Am I alone therefore in being staggered by the sheer hubris of her
statement "Everyone should carry their fair share of the burden, especially the most privileged in terms of paying their tax". Given her figure wagging directed at the much beleaguered Greeks, I'm wondering if the World would still turn on it's axis if we didn't have the likes of this woman presiding over us.

I agree totally. The very rich seem to find ways to avoid paying tax whilst telling the rest of us to tighten our belts and pay up.
