tl;dr. Being an asshole isn't a crime.
Analogy to put this in perspective: at your daughter' school, there's a collection for a new electronic whiteboard. Everyone pays their share. Except due to an old / obscure rule families below poverty line are exempt. One rich parent figured out how to hide all their income and qualify.
There are different ethical standards for corporations & individuals. Companies get to navigate these quite cleverly.
- andrewchambers 9y agoYour analogy doesn't hold too well. To be more accurate 1. The collection would have to be a large percentage of all wealth, not a fixed and small sum. 2. A caveat being your child might not even use the whiteboard, and not paying means you get kicked out of school. 3. By 'hiding', you mean something legal.
