Yes, exactly. They are trying to change the law with the "Ex-Patriot Act". Also, let's address this:

>Do we punish profitable corporations who pay no tax? Of course not; they're abiding by the laws.

Maybe we should change this law too. Especially in a political environment that is supposed to be doing everything it can to support small businesses. It takes a certain sized corporation to be able to funnel their earnings through Ireland (for example). Makes it hard to compete for the little guy.

"Isn't that what they are trying to do?"

No they are not. They are trying to skim money out of someone who worked his ass off and when it is time to get paid, he is being shortchanged.

The only thing he provided was the angel funding for Facebook. He literally hasn't done any work to earn the increase in the value of Facebook's stock since he got fired a few months after Facebook launched. This guy is practically the reason for founder vesting cliffs.

He's not being shortchanged; he's done nothing to earn this money.
