Borrow, Buy, Die.   That's how billionaire's avoid paying much in taxes. When your assets are growing quickly (10%+ / year), you don't need to sell stock or pay yourself a salary, you just borrow money at 2% interest / year. If you have significant wealth, and it continues to grow, you can take advantage of borrowing money at low cost. If there is a downturn in the economy or the market, you have enough wealth to “bridge the gap”.  In other words: you can take advantage of “average returns” over decades because you have the risk capacity. How does this apply to the rest of us? You are already doing this with your mortgage. You borrowed money and have investments in the stock market. While the current high market might not be the best time to “borrow for lifestyle”, have financing ready (HELOC, refinance, margin borrowing) in case the market drops significantly. You want to buy while it's on sale. Understand that your mental wellbeing trumps all. Sure, you might “make more money” buy leveraging your house and investing in the market. But will you worry too much? Nothing beats a good night's sleep.

In today's episode, let's talk about how the richest people on earth avoid paying taxes. Just last week, ProPublica, an investigative journalism nonprofit, released a report mapping out how the wealthiest people avoid taxes, exploit loopholes and escape scrutiny from federal auditors. In 2007, Jeff Bezos, then a multibillionaire and now the world's richest man in the world, did not pay a single penny in federal income taxes. And He managed to do the same thing again in 2011. In 2018, Tesla founder Elon Musk, the second-richest person in the world, also paid no federal income taxes. Michael Bloomberg managed to do the same in recent years. Billionaire investor Carl Icahn did it twice. George Soros paid no federal income tax three years in a row. And the question is...how. How do the richest people in the world avoid paying taxes? That's what we will be exploring in today's episode. So, check out this episode to find out more! For more info about Delugne Investing, check out Delugne.com for more info.

ProPublica tax leak - The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax - source US authorities are investigating the 'illegal' leak of billionaires' tax information - source The US government is investigating how some of the wealthiest Americans, including Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, had their tax information published online. Nonprofit news site ProPublica published a report on Tuesday showing how much the 25 richest Americans — including Bezos, Musk, Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg — paid in tax. The report highlighted how two key tax loopholes benefit billionaires. Joe Biden Used Tax-Code Loophole Obama Tried to Plug - source Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden used a tax loophole that the Obama administration tried and failed to close, substantially lowering his tax bill. Mr. Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, routed their book and speech income through S corporations, according to tax returns the couple released. They paid income taxes on those profits, but the strategy let the couple avoid the 3.8% self-employment tax they would have paid had they been compensated directly instead of through the S corporations. Amid mega-drought, rightwing militia stokes water rebellion in US west - source Demonstrations have sparked fears of a confrontation between law enforcement and rightwing anti-government activists Texas Republican Gohmert asks if federal agencies can change Earth's or moon's orbits to fight climate change - source Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) on Tuesday asked a representative from the U.S. Forest Service if it was possible to alter the orbit of the moon or the Earth as a way of combating climate change, though it was unclear if he was being serious.

The story made waves in Washington, D.C., this week: The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax. ProPublica obtained private tax data from America's 25 wealthiest individuals, which revealed exactly how those people manage, through legal means, to pay far less income tax than most Americans — and sometimes, none at all. ProPublica senior editor and reporter Jesse Eisinger explains how it works to NPR's Rachel Martin. After the story's publication, some lawmakers reacted with concern about the fairness of the tax code. Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, explains a proposal to make it more equitable. He spoke to NPR's Ailsa Chang.

The private tax returns of America's wealthiest few individuals were just leaked to the non-profit journalists at ProPublica and they reveal an American plutocracy that has completely avoided paying personal taxes. We already knew that the wealthiest corporations were able to maneuver the tax code to their benefit, but the levels at which the ultra-wealthy are able to avoid taxes is maddening. And it is all LEGAL. Michael is joined by journalist and author Anand Giridharadas to discuss how they've been able to rig the system, why this is Exhibit A for why we need a wealth tax, and why so many working class Americans have been indoctrinated into supporting the rich and being against taxing them more. Plus, Michael responds to your emails about his proposal for The Department of Public Safety and Compassion.
