You don’t like Gates, I understand. I don’t feel that way. He made his money, nobody was forced to comply with standards his organization set up, and now he is spending it. The tax diatribes from any High wealth individual are offensive. You don’t get that kind of wealth without ‘working the system’ as far as taxes go. Some of these guys(and girls) wouldn’t mind a %90 tax rate because their lives and choices have revolved around ways to not pay in general. Get mad or take an income tax course. I chose the latter. It really makes you made at the tax code.
I don’t feel the need to take an income tax course. I am retired now, after a 30 year career as a CPA who was engaged mainly in the income tax “business”.
I also am not “mad”. I just generally dislike the extremely wealthy who want the middle class to support the lower class, while they use all the tax dodges they can find, so they can minimize what they have to pay.
