I find the response to these articles often very baffling. Everyone seems to want to nail these banksters for dodging taxes using clever loopholes. Then, they rail against government incompetence and praise people who work within a narrow framework while getting results ("hackers"). Obviously, this is a generalization and not every person thinks this way, but I often find this sort of response on places like reddit and even here to some extent. If the Federal Gov't wants tax money it better start making a strong case with some serious value propositions. Realize, that post-civil war the Federal Income Tax was allowed to expire, even for funding the war it was only 10%. It had been ruled unconstitutional.[0]People don't want to give the government money at a corporate or personal level. And if they would stop buying warehouses of hammers and dumping it into the middleeast funding helicopters that will never fly and powerplants that don't work, maybe people would at lease be neutral, instead of downright hostile, about the issues of taxes.
