Nowadays there is a lot of news about Panama Leaks. They are papers detailing off shore bank accounts and wealth of many world leaders. Now that they are in the open, some journalists are conducting investigations about hidden wealth of politicians and bureaucrats in our country. Every day there are reports about châteaus in France, bank accounts in Switzerland, properties in UK, clubs, race horses and apartments in Dubai and the amounts runs in billions of dollars. The sad thing is as soon as these people are caught, arrested or sued, they start crying "political vendetta" and political persecution and seek asylum in UK and other European countries. Meanwhile a large majority of people live below poverty line and the wealth that is siphoned of our lands in never seen again

I still wonder why these world leaders are so powerful that they can be rich and the poor are becoming poorer and poorer.

It is set up so the rich get richer, while the poor gets poorer. Sad!

It never fails to amaze me how rich the leaders become while the country seems to get poorer.
