This is How the Rich Get Richer

A-Rod Tax Loophole Has New Yorkers Seeing Pinstriped Red

Just don't fool yourself that it's only Republican-run governments that protect their special interests.  And the "fair" solution is not to keep jacking up tax rates on the rich -- the fair solution is to level the playing field for all Americans by cutting tax rates and simplifying the tax code.  The truly rich will always find the loophole for themselves and greedy politicians of any stripe (many of whom are the truly rich) will always be there to help them.
