[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 677922, member: 11791"] Two trains of thought on this. Obviously, property rights are not well developed in your country, and history plays a big role in that. Without strong property rights, the foundations for building personal wealth are always at risk. Not a nice feeling. And then, the whole "tax avoidance" vs "contractual protections" argument. I'd be awful tempted to make my kids sign contracts in order to obtain ID such as a driver's license - so that they can be kicked out if they start causing major problems. If property rights are so weak, how can people afford to NOT have contracts, even if it means paying more taxes? History probably plays a role here, too. The whole relationship between citizens and government determines a lot of behavior. [/QUOTE]
