A measure of character? Jeez... I hope we don't have too many people measuring a person's character based on the thickness of their wallet.

- Karunamon 14y agoWell, when a guy is running on a platform of being as American as mom and apple pie, it wouldn't look good for him to be using all kinds of offshore tax havens and loopholes.
- MartinCron 14y agoI think it is more about the aggressiveness if their loophole exploitation than mere thickness.
- jack-r-abbit 14y agoJust like I encourage my tax man to find every possible way for me to reduce my tax burden, I would expect everyone to do that. A loophole is a legal way to do that. If a person has the know-how to aggressively find and use the resources available to them... that shows a great deal of character to me. Don't hate the player... hate the game. You have a problem with a loophole, lobby to get it closed. Or use it also. But I imagine this view is not shared by everyone.
