Much of this discussion revolves around the perfectly legal tax avoidance mechanism utilized by Greene. Missing, though, is what exactly that revelation means. Are we advocating the removal of such mechanisms? Calling for an addition tax? Is there a bill I can advocate my senator to vote for? I do find such schemes interesting in their own right, but I can't quite shake the tone of indignation present in the discussion -- indignation that seems to lead nowhere.
- humanrebar 11y agoI mostly agree, but there is a justice issue when the tax code has loopholes that are only accessible to people with clever tax attorneys. To contrast, if I got an extra $5K in my bonus, I couldn't give it to my friend to help pay for the adoption expenses she has be racking up. If it were a donation of $50 million, I could form a targeted charity and write the whole thing off on my taxes. What to do about it? Probably simplify the tax code. Complicated laws, especially tax laws, are just not fair.
