And don't forget the Channel Islands and Isle of Mann. Lots of sorta-British tax havens there.
You missed a few British territories. Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Jersey, Isle of Man, and Bermuda is the full list I think. Makes statements from Cameron on the topic especially hypocritical.

Obama by himself, no. But the executives from which he raised money will make him do and say anything they want.
No one can make a US president in his last year in office say anything.

Anyone else feel like the problem here isn't tax havens but the tax system. Is there a better approach than collecting taxes? What if inflation was used as a tax (printing money)?
That's why VAT is such a popular tax in Europe. It is very hard to evade. As soon as you spend money, you pay taxes.
