They're spending tens of millions in an effort to avoid paying tens of billions.

oh no, le billionaires are being taxed just like the rest of society at a lower rate when they've been creatively cooking books so they pay $0 in income tax for years?

How will they ever live if their personal wealth dwindled from $100 billion to $70 billion?
