That's about as legitimate as "the police investigated them, so they must have done something wrong". That kind of argument has huge problems.
- jjoonathan 7y agoSure, but it wasn't that kind of argument. It's not about trusting the police/IRS, it's about distrusting loopholes. I'm about as sympathetic to Facebook here as I am to the people who claim that under the maritime act of 1776 their car is a ship and therefore the police can't arrest them for speeding.
