Should We Invade Bermuda?

It turns out that Google has been avoiding paying some 2 billion dollars in taxes by moving money through Bermuda. Apple is another corporation that has been dodoging taxes. Even the right-wing government in the UK has accused Google, Amazon, and Starbucks of dodging taxes.

The thing I wonder about though. If money no longer consists of gold, silver or anything even tangible, if in fact it's all just electronic digits, then what is it all about? If money is now only electronic digits, then who decides what anybody gets or how rich or poor anybody is? Curioser and curioser.
