      That’s absolutely not surprising. Paying for attorneys, transfer pricing experts, etc. would definitely cost a lot more

          Because it allows them to increase their wealth while lowering their taxes, and the assets and properties are not moving or changing hands (well, they kind of are by moving from holding A to holding B, but the holdings are still entirely within their hands). That’s the expensive part which justifies paying experts.

              I don’t really know the guy, he just pops up on my feed sometimes, so I have no idea if he’s a self important jackass or not. But he raises a lot of important questions with answers we already know to be part of the solution. Raising taxes, destroying inheritance above a certain threshold, the looming threat of extreme Victorian-like inequalities, are all valid points.

                  Yeah because arguing about taxing the rich to prevent kids dying in the streets from tuberculosis is roughly the same thing as human trafficking or defending social darwinism. What the fuck ?..
