Title: Insights you don't get anywhere else
Product review: We all suspect that people who can afford enough lawyers and accountants are able to dodge taxes, but we don't know how they do it. This book pulls back the curtain and shows why the debate over whether the top marginal rate should be X or Y percent is irrelevant to anyone truly rich.Some of the chapters I found most interesting were on how CEOs have enough flexibility to defer their income almost indefinitely to avoid paying taxes on anything they aren't ready to spend, and on how the IRS enforcement budget is mis-allocated - they have plenty of funding to audit the poor, but real-estate partnership returns aren't even matched up with individual income tax returns to make sure they're consistent. If that sounds interesting to you then you'll enjoy the book; if it sounds boring then you might not.
