    If you agree the system is broken I encourage you to reconsider your prior statements about the rich not paying their fair share.

    Rich people do a variety of shady stuff and keep it hidden (Panama papers), I wouldn’t trust your lack of data points to mean it isn’t a pervasive problem.

      That’s moving the goalpost.

      The pay their fair share of income tax.

      The issue is there is a way to avoid income.

      That’s the problem we need to solve. Technically they’re taking on debt to avoid taxes. Sounds reasonable but those are loans we couldn’t get. It’s just a tax avoidance system.
