Forrest donations and false charity : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 1/6/2017

Behind Forrest's wealth lies the eager hand of historical appropriation, the coloniser's prerogative to make good the use of natural resources.

Reading the article brings the following words to mind, petty, sour and small minded.

Binoy,

Mining royalties are a tax, Forrest has paid personal income tax, and would be perfectly justified spending the $400m on himself.

Binoy certainly demonstrates his abysmal ignorance in this article.
For example, he criticizes Forrest on the basis that up to 2011 FMG had not paid company tax.
He seems unaware that tax is paid on profits, so until FMG made a profit, it would not pay company tax. It paid royalties, which are payable regardless of whether the company made a profit or not.
Of course, this is far from the first time Binoy has displayed his willingness to make a fool of himself on this forum.

May be your suggestion could be right ttbn, but i believe there are other ways to monitor and also put the house in order i don't think stopping donation is right.

I could grab brain in your comment Big Nana, i think it is best to allow those that know about the value of a particular thing to have access to utilize it in a better way without criticize them.
