Some guy spending a billion dollars on pretty much nothing makes me deeply annoyed. Tax billionaires.

You must be annoyed A LOT these days. It seems that spending a lot of money on nothing is the latest trend for these people.

But spending it on their own terms. They would spend $100,000 on lawyers and lobbying to avoid paying $20,000 of new taxes.

Because it sets a precedent. If the $20k taxes go through, why not some $120k ones in the future? At the very least, this is their logic.
