Laura Flanders appeared on Ralph Nadar's program to talk about the offshore of money by the wealthy class who then use this money as a power base to influence governments far and awide around the world. Both Laura Flander's and Ralph Nadar are incredible speakers and fighters against the corporate state and both have shown a particular interest in the ability of money to flow outside the country and be parked in offshore accounts instead of being invested and developed in America. MS Flanders told Ralph nadir that much of the bail out money printed by the United States is in the Cayman islands as corporations use this tiny island and open a PO box so they can avoid corporate taxes. taxes that are needed to help fund and pay for important infrastructure and services provided by the state.

The offshoring of money intended to be used for capital improvements and projects was the main issued of this discussion between these two legends of America's war against corporate tyranny and if more people realized how these accounts hurt their own nation there would be more of a mass movement to end this callous behavior of the plutocracy in ensuring perpetual poverty will remain on America' soil. This past December, she was part of “The Nation” magazine cruise where she and Ralph stopped off to visit Ugland House in the Grand Cayman Islands, the infamous building where multinational corporations register in order to avoid US taxes. They discussed their actions at this building as Laura attempted to incorporate herself as a offshore account to see how easy it is for individuals to move their money so they can avoid their important fiscal responsibilities for this huge nation to operate effectively as a strong united country
