Why? What are you going to do with the artwork, cars, furniture and boats? It’s just a themepark for the rich. It provides lots of benefits for the city and the surrounding areas working class. And monico itself treats his citizens right. It’s very different from the gentrification that happens on “non money burning themepark cities”, ie: every other city.

Now if you are complaining about tax evasion, that’s something about your country policy. What Monaco does as tax policy only matters if you have shitty treaties. France has fixed some loopholes there, tou country should do the same, instead of war.




> France has fixed some loopholes there

Monaco IS the loophole, and is hardly independent.

It's also surprising that this place was allowed to be. The first article of the French constitution says France is indivisible, and that every citizen should be equal to law without difference from 'origin'

In the meantime, they create this artificial 'country' for the über-wealthy, where they can do whatever they want in casinos, get rid of the poor at night with multi-million euro flats, have a bespoke overly funded police department, while evading taxes.

So yeah, it provides benefits. But it's a proof that equality has limits.
