Get a hobbit to do it. Its the only way.

Why are all these people tailgating me?

Yeah, but in regular e-mails to an address in the PRC intelligence division? Even if they are only about the wife and kids, that's suspicious.

Better to hide the messages in pics of underage teenage girls and post them to 4chan. At least you have a plausible audience in half the male population of China.

PROTIP: Involving untrained individuals or organizations in intelligence gathering operations is a bad idea. They tend to leak information to either the targets of investigations or third parties with interests in such surveillance.

What's the pre-tax poverty level for a corporation? Why aren't we restricting them to this figure as a deduction limit?

How did Google USA smuggle the trademark out of the USA and into the Cayman islands? If I put more then $10,000 in cash or property into my luggage and try exiting the country without declaring it, I can be fined and/or imprisoned.

Based on a billion dollar annual payment from France alone, that trademark must be worth some multiple of a billion dollars. I think Customs and the IRS would really like to know who slipped it through our border.

That's funny. Because many US companies move their intellectual property overseas to low tax regimes (like Ireland). And then they 'charge' their US divisions fees (deductible from US income) for the use of that IP.

How did they move billions of dollars of property out of US? If I try to haul more than $10,000 in cash (diamonds, securities, whatever) undeclared across the border, Customs will have my ass.

You miss the point about citizenship. Its not a privilege, its a burden. As a citizen, the government can require certain things of you. As a non citizen, they cannot.

But corporations are people. Why can't I pay income taxes on my net rather than gross?

The way it actually works is: You make money in France. You pay France 25% of your profits (I'm just pulling numbers out of my *ss. Bear with me.) But the US tax rate is 35%. You get a credit for that 25% paid but you still owe 10% to the US govt.

Why? The USA didn't have anything to do with your profits earned in France. So you move your corporation to a low tax jurisdiction. You pay France 25% of your French profits. You pay the USA 35% of your US profits (but only those earned in the USA). And all the looters in the US scream about you stealing 'their' taxes.

... fontanero.

... or has an endless supply of arrogance. They are about to get their ass handed to them for acquiring AP reporters' phone records without justification. And so they go to work on more powerful wiretapping tools.

Put a router under your bed when you invite your girlfriend over. As a proven method of of birth control.

My phone doesn't have a camera!

And my camera doesn't have a phone.

That opposable thumb you've got there buddy. Cease and desist using it. Or you'll hear from my attorney.
