12. It's an old argument.

Don't pay taxes if you don't have to.

And there's two ways to do that.

1. Don't earn enough to need to.

2. Be rich enough to employ some smart tax lawyers who can find the bridge across the tax river.
(Why swim across the tax river if you can find a tax bridge?)

It's the tax laws at fault.

I mean, expecting these rich types to have a heart and do something they don't want to do, if they don't have to?
Goes against all that made them rich in the first place!

And close down those tax havens! Your headquarters is in Ireland, and all your business income goes there?
Nothing to do with tax breaks, right?
