They for one, blow things way out of proportion which is totally ridiculous. When I first looked over this article, my assumption was the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer.

And this is better spin wise?

“Took me a couple of readings to get it I must admit.”

That has to do more with my poor writing style then anything else – I mean I’ve already found a huge typo 😛

A couple of lines:

When there is a tax bill the firm and employee have to figure out who will pay it. If the employee is really important (like a CEO) he has a lot of power to negotiate that the firm pays it. As a result, when taxes are lower most of the benefit goes to the firm to the important employee – as they have a lower bill to pay.

“Reynolds is actually ‘Paul’ not Jack, but whatever.”

Crap, you are right. I just took the name straight off Kiwiblog and didn’t think about it. Lets just assume it is a “hypothetical CEO” – I suspect that is what Kiwiblog was doing, and it still works in this case 😀

Reynolds is actually ‘Paul’ not Jack, but whatever.
