Oxfam has no interest in the sovereignty of small states. It supports a new form of colonialism – tax colonialism.

While Oxfam upholds the sovereign right of countries to regulate and expropriate, they do not defend the rights of those same countries to tax as they please, including to cut taxes to attract investment and offshore financial centres.

All that plucky rhetoric of TPPA no way and how international economic agreements violate the sovereignty of countries and developing countries in particular is forgotten in a flash.
<p>Oxfam manages to have the blinding hypocrisy of opposing the Transpacific Partnership on national sovereignty grounds and at the same time call for international treaties to bully small countries about their tax policies, which overrides their economic sovereignty.</p> <p>Hyper inequality is out of control - sign the new petition - end the era of tax havens ow.ly/Xc0T4 https://t.co/IzqBji6AmD—
