Actually, that was fascinating with much that I had never heard before. On a slightly less serious note I thought the primary Swiss defence was their prices which no belligerent could possible afford. As an aside, I am shocked that there was graffiti on the wall behind you. How could that possibly be as I remember my short time in Switzerland as being on a continuous prevention of a desire to litter.
It's not a low tax/graffiti environment, it's just a lower tax/graffiti environment
