[edit] Text dump
This article appears to be just a text dump (POV and all, which I have tried to correct a bit) from the TJN website, and could really use a clean-up. I haven't slapped the clean-up tag on it, because it isn't that bad, but it needs a little love. It could also benefit from someone including the main criticisms levelled against the TJN. Also, suprisingly, the article doesn't cite the main thing that separate them from other pro-tax lobbying organisations, viz, that they also attack the structures and systems of developed nations rather than just shooting at offshore financial centres.

[edit] Objectivity...? Where...?
A "text dump", yes...the article even refers to "our members"! TJN is viewed by many as an intensely political organization, certainly not "non-aligned".
It is of course debatable that there even ARE any "harmful effects" of tax competition; certainly this adjective does not belong in a neutral description.
What is the "secretive world of offshore finance"? At the least, it would be appropriate to place "secretive" in "-".
Likewise, what is the "shadow economy of tax havens"? If such highly-charged terms are to be used, perhaps they should be in "-". Chris. Fulker 03:50, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
