THE United States can lead the fight against corporations and the richest 1 per cent that use shell companies and tax havens, which are located everywhere from the Cayman Islands to South Dakota, says Chuck Collins, a US expert on the issue, but only “if we get our house in order” through a crackdown on them at home.
