Jeff Bezos would owe $2 billion a year in state taxes if Washington passes wealth tax

Critics warn that since none of Washington's top billionaires have any day-to-day corporate roles, they could simply move to another state to avoid the tax

Bezos can easily avoid wealth taxation by transferring his money to overshore accounts.

I'm from Washington. The state has no authority to assess worldwide total net worth or to access foreign bank accounts or investments for that purpose. If a state taxes income, it is limited to taxing income earned in that state, and no income may be subject to taxation by two different states or countries. These are among certain ironclad treaties and principles of international law among nations that lay and collect income taxes.

Or by buying a few politicians to put loopholes in for him which he has already done. He'll never pay it.

Some people can avoid a parking ticket downtown and a tank of gas by shopping online instead of driving in heavy traffic and aggravating urban traffic congestion.

What does this have to do with changing offshore money-hiding laws?

You're full of local-schmokel bullshit. Buy local, patronize the local retail boutique shops even if you can't find what you want locally, because all politics is local, because it's all Democrat anyways.

Most peoples wealth is readily apparent. House, car, land, store, RV, boat, etc,..

How do you tax a hundred million dollars in gold bullion in a secret vault under Bill Gates home?

This is what most liberal wealthy elites end up doing. The Liberal politicians demonize the wealthy I their calls for higher taxes yet the wealthy know they will not pay. Same with the corporations. They either scale back and/or pass costs on to their customers.
