That is not evidence. That is a supposition. What I want to know is, where
did you get these 'facts?' Do you have access to a database of Bush
supporters and their incomes? Do you have federal tax records? Did you
conduct a survey? Did you examine the tax returns of the ultra rich? How do
you know these things? How are the ultra rich hiding their income?

While we are at it, let's talk about some of your other assertions, such as
your statement that hiding income in offshore accounts is legal. How do you
know it is legal? Are you an attorney or a CPA? Why does the government
prosecute people for doing that if it is legal? I would like to know what
section of the tax code or the IRS regulations says that it is legal to hide
your income in offshore accounts. I will give you fair warning. I am a
retired CPA. All of my work was in taxation. I know more about estate
taxation than 90% of CPAs. I have seen nothing that supports your assertions
about the ultra rich.

Of course, maybe I am just part of the conspiracy between the government and
the rich, eh? In that case, heh, we know all about you. Better be careful,
eh?
