As long as humanity has had taxes there has been tax evasion and for wealthy Europeans the microstate of Liechtenstein has been happy to hide their money for centuries.

Or if things get "bad" for the rich they can sell some stuff off. The poor? They have bigger problems like finding food

Swiss created the most expensive and the most exclusive phone they say. Well, well I would say its a very relative beauty and comfort to have such phone. Of course its perfect for showing of how much money you make. Although such design is anyway to girly for a man to have.
