How Billionaires Live Tax-Free
by James Johnson
Dedication
For the ones still paying.
You were never the problem.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
THANKS TO THE researchers, whistleblowers, and journalists who keep pulling back the curtain, even when the world shrugs.
Thanks to the few lawmakers who still remember what the law was supposed to be.
And thanks to every reader who’s ever looked at their tax bill and asked, “Wait… why me?”
