I couldn't agree more. But that would be true if his tax rate were 5%, 15%, or 25%. Nobody likes paying taxes, but I'm not radical enough to believe that someone who becomes a billionaire while working and living in the US as a US citizen shouldn't pay US taxes. Almost nobody does - it's the tax rate that people really disagree about. What that rate should be is, of course, open to debate, but I don't really see it as central to this particular argument. I think this is more narrowly about the extent to which the money Saverin made from facebook should be considered money earned in the US as a US citizen.
