This is what I mean by the risk being public and the reward being private.

So are you still going to believe that the Democrats are for the little guy?

Or do they placate the little guy just enough to make him think the table scraps they're throwing him are sticking to "the man" to keep his vote?

Do you believe this kind of tax deferral was accidental or intentional?

this is correct, the current thread title is not.

Paul Allen has also served this country and mankind very well in his life. take not that the 'Philanthropy' section of Paul Allens wiki is the largest section.

if Allen doesn't have to pay those taxes for 5-9 more years. That WILL save him millions in interest.

Not to mention any potential inflation.

It's also another billion he can invest in enterprises that employ people, something Paul Allen does quite a bit of. I'm pretty confident he's not just going to bury that billion in his backyard.

I'm pretty sure the Seahawks and Trailblazers will be staying here in the US. MS too, for that matter. It's unlikely that Scaled Composites and Burt Rutan are going anywhere either.

Your paranoid stereotypes about the rich are pretty funny though.

I like his boats....

Honestly it is great to see the Dems working so hard to tarnish their image as being for the common people, I love it.
