There is a massive difference between following poorly written laws correctly and breaking the law.
- ezekg 5y agoYes -- one writes the laws, the other disregards them.
- aplummer 5y agoHuh? The government writes the laws, the people elect them. These laws could say "95% maximum tax bracket" (They used to) but they don't. There could be a CEO tax, but there isn't.
- Dah00n 5y agoLobbying groups often write the laws, politicians then just put them up for the vote unchanged. At least if we're talking about the US.
- andrepd 5y ago> The government writes the laws, the people elect them. Yes I remember when I still believed this. Funny thing is this is demonstrably false, as in you can try to study the correlation between voter's opinions and legislation (and find virtually no correlation) and the correlation between opinions of the 1% and legislation (orders of magnitude better correlation).
- jmcgough 5y agoI mean he certainly could afford some good CPAs to mitigate his tax burden if he wanted to.
