Dude, if you're even a lowly traveling consultant in the United States and you stay in one area (i.e., state) making money for a period of time (I want to say 30 days, perhaps continuous), you have to pay taxes in that locality.
My point was that billionaires skate around these rules for all of the reasons you are stating and then some. They should be subject to them just like everyone else is.
I guess we are in agreement then
I think we are all in agreement, because this is a very reasonable position. The only people who are not in agreement with this reasonable position are the governments who refuse to change the tax laws and insist it is too dangerous, too hard or too complicated, because lawmakers actually work for and are funded by the billionaires and not us. There is nothing hard or complicated about this. Dangerous, maybe, but I am tired of being threatened by these people who want us to think there are dangers. Where there is a will, there is a way. The government has absolutely no will to do this, though.
