You're caught in the middle ground. If you were a billionaire earning hundreds of millions per year you could afford to spend 10 million a year to hire a team of experts to hide all your money in the Caymans.

Where did you get these prices from? Why do you think it costs $10 million a year to hide all your money in the Caymans?

It's a real mystery what that piece never explains that the biggest reason for the drop in % of income paid in taxes is just the drop (from 28% to 15%) in the top cap gains rate.
