Propublica article on how some of the richest people in the world pay virtually no income tax. Really interesting read if you have a spare half hour.

A free society to me is one with economic and political freedom.

No society is perfect, each one has in equalities but I'd rather live in a country with the above freedoms than one where one or the other doesn't exist.
