16. The act that got him out of taxes as you say, also got him out of
money.

It's a trade-off available to anyone who wishes to do the same.

He's speaking up, pretty loudly, about the problem. That's more than the rest of his extra-wealthy cohorts are doing. Bill Gates' dad has also spoken about the problem, IIRC. They'd see it changed if they could. And he says he doesn't use any special accountants or tricks to do his taxes. Because his income isn't salary but investments, he pays a much lower rate. There's the problem.
