amazing, no? first salient thing he's done since joining SI... after all, it was created as an "invest" thang. more amazing for an admin to rough it... perhaps, the dude is finding a worthy groove he couldn't find as a mere poster on clubby threads for the over the hill gang.

There's no doubt that federal tax statutes miss the mark... but it's not really practical to blame corporate management when the tax code all but encourages them to seek lower tax venues. Their primary fiduciary (legal) responsibility is to their shareholders, followed by their employees, and lastly to the "communities" in which they operate. The party to blame is Congress, which has mismanaged the tax code for decades. It's also the only place where it can be fixed.
