They don't have to evade, they can just avoid -- you know, the way you avoid even the minimal obligation of your property taxes.
Good luck with that.
The only way to make the billionaires pay is to make them repay some of the wealth that government gives them: land titles, IP monopolies, bank licenses, corporate limited liability, oil and mineral rights, and broadcast spectrum allocations. If they had to pay a fair price for those privileges to get them, instead of getting them as tax-funded subsidies, they would pay.
With the Supreme Court stacked by Mitch McConnell to always toe the Republican line -- now including blanket immunity for all crimes, including treason, committed by a Republican president while in office -- what is the point?

As I have said a few times, it would take international cooperation to really screw them royally, but we could hit them hard with tax on income, corporate, estate that could not be completely avoided.

Part of the problem is that too many people have capitulated and don’t bother to vote.
