,,, take a look at post #42. This is the point I would have made. Artists (broadly defined in Ireland) pay no taxes. Write your next novel, stage your next art exhibition or slap some poetry together with some enchanting photos and you're in! Bono will no doubt be happy when everyone on the face of the planet who's impoverished owns a protected cell company in the Channel Islands.
He may be good at what he does in a musical context but I don't think that point is up for debate here. The point I extract from this article is he's another "I care about the world" Bob Geldoff success runner. Tiresome, transparent, large scale, recipe from a cookbook altruism - [yawn] it's been done before.
It would have looked much better -- for tax-free Bono -- if he had offered up some of his own billions before asking GW for some $$$.
