Inside the Shadowy Industry Where the Uber-Rich Pay Millions to Hide Trillions
23rd June 2021
I’ll bet you thought Rolling Stone was a magazine about music. Nope. It’s full Narrative mode.
A recent exposé showed how billionaires dodge taxes on their wealth. The bigger scandal is how the rich pay an army of lawyers, accountants, and more to hide trillions from any government
Apparently this has come as a surprise to certain people.
If one has trillions, surely it’s rational to spend millions to defend the rest from predation through taxation? Nowhere is it suggested that these activities violate the law; the gravamen of the article is the apparent moral depravity of actually desiring to (lawfully) minimize tax liability. (The swine!)
