Wow, sure sounds like they have extra money lying around that they wouldn’t miss if it were taxed.

Okay. Say no?

I went to the bank one day, I says to the bank manager, I says to him, sir, I need an account opened for a shell llc to skirt the tax man a little extra for my own self, he says to me, no.

I says okay then.

Just say no.

I keep seeing this same story with varying amounts. Wasn’t it 100m a few days ago?

Did you read the article?.. Of course not. It mentions that 100 million dollar donation and that it’s from a single billionair Google co-founder.
