The rich are the most attentive to the loopholes congress creates to
dodge their own taxes.

And rich people didn't get rich by being stupid. Some attain richness as
a
temporary thing, and then blow it. As in some lottery winners, and some
business successes. A friend of mine in Las Vegas was a HUGE success in
the
construction boom ten to twenty years ago. Had all the toys. Three
Hummers, fantastic infinity pool, lodge (defined as 10,000 sf cabin) in
the
woods of Utah. Now, he's back to a 2500 sf house and used cars dodging
creditors.

Point is, rich people as you say, pay attention to the pennies, and the
dollars just take care of themselves.

It is possible that your friend never was truly rich, he just had a
big balance sheet.

On the other hand, pirates...
