Of course.. tis the game... even better when you are allowed to use your office and influence to trade on inside information ;)

Assuming the powers that be want it fixed in the first place.

Personally I don't think they do. Less taxes means more political donations to the folks in a position to fix the problem.

Tax avoidance and tax evasion are two different things....

The first is legal, the second is not.


True of course. I think the growing resentment is due to the extreme extent to which the avoidance is being taken, even abused, at a time we're drowning in debt.


Do you claim exemptions and deductions on your income tax return?
Yes

The most agressive corporate tax avoider is GE.

The biggest individual tax avoider is Warren Buffet.

The US tax code is designed for favored parties to avoid taxes.

No argument from me


US tax code has gone from 400 pages in 1913 to over 71,000 pages in 2010.

Disgusting.

Bingo. It's a pattern all political matters. Make a lot of noise, some cage rattling and quench the blood thirst of their constituents for "change", but continue the status quo at all costs.

Good for them. I pray Google continues to exploit this loophole so that they can continue their research on automated cars, etc.
