yes that's true it's good that billionaires circumvent tax laws to hide their money off-shore. that's not the fault of the billionaires, it's the people who made those laws that forced those rich people to break the unjust laws

that's one thing I like about america is that if you don't like a law you can just disobey it

I don't hear about this because all billionaires know that there are loopholes available to them to avoid taxation.

When you hear the likes of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet complaining that they're not taxed enough, they know that any taxes levied against them will not be paid because of loopholes. It's real easy to signal your virtue with no skin on the line.

Or do what actually happens, investing the money so it can grow... which increases economic output.

rich people do get taxed, the money goes to the government who takes its cut, and redistributes a portion of what's left to the bureaucrats, who dont use it to improve schools, roads, and public health services


FIFY.


Your post is a carbon copy of an indoctrination cliche... having no bearing in the real world.

Taxes they avoid with tax attorneys, moving money to offshore accounts, write offs with fake charities, other tax code loopholes, etc..

Theres no such thing as a loophole.

What you call a loophole is simply tax law favoring the friends of those that wrote it... and those that wrote it themselves.

The government definitely doesn’t need more money to waste.

The analogy is more accurate if you bought the gun for the dude.

I SMH because I know this is exactly how libbies think, and they have no clue how ignorant they are to economics.
