I don't get why this is such a mystery.
"The rich keep getting richer" hmmmm...why is that?
As long as the government keeps seeking a FAIR way to go after the wealth of the rich, the wealthy will continue to find ways to shelter that wealth.
The dumbest rich guy, including any inept professionals (accountant, attorneys, etc.) is VASTLY smarter than the smartest bureaucrat.
One example...the Death Tax.
Think what would happen if we eliminated it...OH MY GOD!
A short study in history would prove nothing distributes wealth like an offspring.
Sure, some wealth would still be socked away but I guarantee there would be an up-shoot in spending, travel, etc. along with a possibility of growth in other areas. Who knows how different "their" interests would be compared to their parents/grandparents.
Instead, we are told over and over again that rich people are evil because they go to Vegas and/or fly around in their private jets.
Let them...I hope they fly around in those jets and try to play as much golf as they can.
Think of this too...if those evil rich people could continue to write off a golf membership as a business expense, would that be a benefit to our industry???
Sorry...let me get back to cutting my greens fertilizer with manure.
