I have a friend who claims to pay no taxes. He has residences in three
countries, only two of which he uses, and spends much of his time scheming
on how to avoid taxes. He's a very smart fellow and I've always felt if he
stopped scheming and quit worrying about taxes he'd end up with more in the
end anyway. But he likes the game.
