54. You make the argument for a flat tax in spades
Rich people avoid tax, and they could not avoid a flat tax. All of
what you described would be taxed, no funny business.

Rather your boss has the wealth to hire avoidance counselling, that his
expenses are corporate, reimbursable, and the corporate entity is not
obliged to care, as he owns it.

If the corporation paid a flat tax on its income, and a flat tax on its
payments to "entities", the fancy shennanigans would get him nowhere.

Those who defend progressive taxation, are inevitably in tax brackets
where they don't have experience with "the corporate dodge". Had they,
they'd be less trusting in their religion.
