The general public within any nation deserves to have the tools to know who and what entity, individual, corporate, or whatever, really owns that which is part of the public domain, of which this knowledge should be robust enough to fully provide a comprehensive breakdown of that vital information. That which is of the public domain is all that which has been created or purchased and is part of the general milieu of that community, which consists of all real estate, equity and bond transactions, all businesses, public as well as private, and virtually anything that has something of monetary value associated to it. In other words, shell companies or their ilk, should never be permitted to exist, but rather those that are the ultimate beneficiaries of any appreciable amount of a given asset, should be completely named and noted, with a public disclosure of such, readily available.
Further, citizens of a dynamic democracy, of which each citizen by rights should be, and of which, in theory, each citizen is equal to any other citizen, have a fundamental right within that democracy, to know who and what owns the property in their country of residency. Additionally, those citizens have a legitimate right to know who the actual business owners are within their community, as a fair price for those businesses to pay for being so licensed to do business in that community, of which all of this should be part of the public domain, without exception. In other words, transparency and openness is fundamental to whether or not a democracy is true to its principles, and thereby such must be part and parcel of that country; for it is not conceivable that an uninformed constituency would somehow know how to vote and what to favor, if they do not know who the real players are, or are not.
After all, the average citizen's ownership of what they have of value, is pretty much always out in the open, but those that have the lion's share of wealth, especially that of dubious angles, often have a very strong tendency to setup their affairs in a deliberate and purposeful manner, that serves to obfuscate the full extent of their ownership positions, for the expressed purpose so as to not make it obvious, the favoritism so shown to them by those in authority that have done so, which typically involves things such as tax avoidance, outright corruption, and money laundering. Again, it must be stated, that those that feel the need to hire an endless amount of lawyers and accountants to deal with their personal and business affairs, are probably doing so, in order to game the system or dodge such, for their benefit.
So too, it can be said, that those that hide behind false flags of all types, are almost, without exception, not those that are simply modest or of a humble mindset, but rather are clearly up to no good, in one form or another. Those that cannot handle the heat of the fair exposure of what they truly own and control via the fair vetting by the general public of a full disclosure via divulged ownership records, should seldom be considered to be citizens of good standing, but should rightly be seen, as suspect, and downright unpatriotic.
