The solution for the future is to try to harder to make good laws in the present rather than somehow retroactively change the past.
- sonotathrowaway 6y agoI don’t advocate for trying to retroactively pass laws, as that is just mob rule. But to be one of the most powerful lobbying efforts in the country (in 2017, the single largest), while simultaneously claiming to be a helpless observer inside said system is hard for me to take seriously. His response was a claim that his behavior is socially acceptable and not tax avoidance (and thus would continue), whereas I’m saying this behavior is tax avoidance and should be labeled as such, and he’s well aware of how unpopular his opinion is and how much he invests from stopping reforms that would align the legal definition closer to the layman’s conception of tax avoidance.
