On criticism of how U2 can claim to be humanitarian while looking to minimise tax obligations, Bono said: “At the root is a false idea that if you are tough-minded in your activism you somehow have to be soft-minded in your business. It would be immoral to be dismissive of those things. It is actually your fiduciary duty … to control costs. There are lot of reasons not to like our band and this is not one of them. We pay a lot of tax and are very proud to pay tax. So it is, like, really?”

What a hypocritical dickhead. By his logic, the rich of the world shouldn't be soft in business and seek to "minimise costs" as much as possible.

Or in Bono speak, "it's ok when I don't pay my fair share of taxes, but not when other people don't".
