The Global Elite and Their 21 Trillion Dollar Stash

According to a major report by James Henry for the Tax Justice Network, the so-called Global Elite have at least $21 Trillion dollars hidden away in offshore bank accounts.

$21 Trillion sounds like an unbelievable amount of money, barely comprehensible for the normal man in the street. When one considers the sum is equivalent to the economies of the United States and Japan combined, you can see why. (1)
It gets worse. The Tax Justice Network are keen to highlight the astronomical figure of $21 Trillion is only a conservative estimate, with the real figure probably being somewhere in the region of $32 Trillion.
