Can people as rich as Romney escape taxes? YES, and that’s verified by the IRS.

“This summer the Internal Revenue Service released data from the 400 individual income tax returns reporting the highest adjusted gross income. This elite ultrarich group earned on average $202 million in 2009, the latest year available. And buried in the data is the startling disclosure that six of the 400 paid no federal income tax. The I.R.S. has never before disclosed that last fact.” — Can people as rich as Romney escape taxes? They can. | NYT (via: sarahlee310)
