IMF home goal
Christine Lagarde, the IMF boss who caused international outrage after she suggested in an interview with the Guardian on Friday that beleaguered Greeks might do well to pay their taxes, pays no taxes, it has emerged.

As an official of an international institution, her salary of $467,940 (£298,675) a year plus $83,760 additional allowance a year is not subject to any taxes.

Lagarde, 56, receives a pay and benefits package worth more than American president Barack Obama earns from the United States government, and he pays taxes on it.

According to Lagarde's contract she is also entitled to a pay rise on 1 July every year during her five-year contract.

Other benefits include rent subsidies, dependency allowances for spouses and children, education grants for school-age children and travel and shipping expenses, as well as subsidised medical insurance.

The permo-oranged tranny gets the hypocrite of the year award for 2012. Especially as she was supposed to be sorting out the euro crisis which she has obviously fucked up but got a convenient escape route via the IMF because of DSK indiscretion in NY. She gets all these perks from the taxpayer so it seems only fair to step up to the mark, show some leadership and pay your share. Useless,hypocritical and bigoted .. good combination.

A lot of Greeks don't pay any tax even though their law tells them to.

You are upset why?

Like having multiple wives and preaching celibacy. Couldn't give a shit if it is in the law tbh .. just goes to show what a one-sided game it is (is she judged on performance I wonder on a fixed 5 year contract). Its the method in which she approached the subject then rapidly back tracked to avoid looking a cunt I suppose. Might sit well with you I don't know the company you keep.

ETA: she gave an interview where she had little sympathy for starving greek kids as it was their parents own fault.

do you think it's fair that someone who earns money by working doesn't pay tax?

regardless of how much they get, or any regulations/legislation - greeks, turks, chavs, or imf bosses - i don't think it's fair on those who do pay their tax.. it just so happens that she earns a fair bit of dosh, and is being a massive hypocrite.

i don't see how people can think that it's unreasonable to be irritated by this.

It's not fair but that doesn't make her a hypocrite.

are we really gonna go into the definition of the word 'hypocrite', in the form of boring, generic, internet forum disagreement/debate?
