Bill Gates: Rich Individuals Should Pay More Tax, Wealthy Corporations Less?
,----[ Quote ]
| As Taxing Tennessee points out, Bill Gates opposes eliminating the death tax
| but is quite happy to have local and state taxes eliminated for his company,
| Microsoft, which is holding more than $22 billion in cash, and made about $17
| billion in profits last year.

He also evades tax using his Fundation [sic].
I can't find the recent reference which speaks about Microsoft relocating
operations in the US for tax exemptions, i.e. give less to the country, make
the poor pay more. But you can understand Microsoft... it's poor, like a
charity.
