I've been pointing out misinterpretations & myths in these numbers for a while. Quite often the reaction I get is something like this; a suggestion that I should look at something else.https://twitter.com/LarsKoch/status/939868690450993152 …

Our Christmas campaign. Damned simplistic campaigning NGOs exaggerating tax dodging forgetting about real tax problems in developing countries
(in Danish; support investigative journalist to look into tax fraud in gasoline industry in Ghana)

Lars - I am not saying *everything* NGOs say is misleading. Nor that NGOs are *only* folks who ever say anything misleading. But there *is* inflated expectation & simplistic analysis on this issue. Which is a problem (incl. for tension w domestic tax work)

Yr response (and many others) to say 'why not focus on something else?' or 'look at the good things we doing' misses the point. It is like if someone reports food poisoning to a store. The store's responsibility is to find & fix the problem, not distract or 'shoot the messenger'
