Tax the wealthy to pay for education, but don't worry about Microsoft dodging licensing taxes by operating out of Nevada, noooo...

tax the wealthy, so long as it's not him.

I'm curious. Do you personally arrange your affairs to maximize your taxes?

If not, then why do you think businesses should do so?
