One of them hasn't paid taxes in 10 years and is going to get away with it because the government couldn't prove that he had to pay.

"When you work for someone you give your service and labor in exchange for money, so everything you make is not profit or gain. You put something into it."An imaginative viewpoint.

It's really, really easy. Let him get away with it, then don't let him use anything paid for by tax dollars. Start with the sidewalk/street outside his house - when he can't leave, see what he starts to say. He probably attended public school paid for by taxes, so destroy his diploma. If he went to college it was not on false pretenses since he couldn't have graduated high school, so do away with that too. Any access to anything government funded/subsidized should be cut off. See how his dance changes then.

Our tax system isn't great, but you can't have things both ways.

That is an interesting take on things, however if I read the article correctly it's actually a loophole in trust/corporate tax law, not personal income.

The end result of gains is the same, however. I'm not real fond of the way taxes are handled, I certainly don't like paying them any more than anyone else, and the IRS should be severely beaten for making the system as complicated as it is - but I DO understand that they are a necessary evil. Read some of the comments attached to the article if you want some real lunacy.

Sure, as long as you funnel all your money through a trust too.
