Did anyone else read the article about the man who won the lottery from MD?
Why do things like that happen????????? He seems like such an awful human being and i know that sounds horrible, i do not know him. I cannot post the article here because there are a few choice words, and it will never make it past the mods, nor should it. But it is a very interesting read. He claimed 900 million dollars last year but because of his sketchy accounting he only paid 2 % in taxes. He said he is ” disappointed” that he won the mega millions because he knows there is no way to get around paying all of the taxes. Someone please read the article so i know if i am the only person so disgusted!

“Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one’s taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands.”
I googled for that story, and only one weird website carried it, and, either the story was taken down or the website is overloaded because the link doesn’t work.
So, it seems the story has holes, because nobody else is carrying it.
