This article examines the new move by Bono to avoid...wait for it...paying his fair share...in taxes. Yes, the guy who wants countries to forgive 3rd world debt is doing his best to avoid paying his taxes. Not a surprise, and this article details the events. Also included are the former Beatle John Lennon producer of the lyrics " imagine no possessions..." unless of course they are his. He moved to New York to "imagine" possessing more of his own money...

from the article:
Like any human, he wants to keep as much of what he earned to himself. So when we learn that Bono is moving his publishing facilities to a friendlier tax haven, the only question should be: why didn’t he leave years ago? (Actually that one is pretty easy to answer: Artists were granted full tax exemptions on royalties in Ireland; until the financial crisis made them reform their tax policies, and they capped the exemption at €250,000 in 2006.)
Mick and the boys took Rolling Stones Inc. to France about the same time, to avoid EnglandÂ’s 83% marginal rate. The Rolling Stones now keep their songboooks in the Netherlands, where royalties compound virtually tax free, and will be handed down to their long impatient heirs without a death tax.
