...according to your fucked-up logic, anytime a company seeks a favorable tax change - or resists an unfavorable one - it's a "loophole" or a "dodge", right? And I'm shocked, shocked to discover there are any "limits" placed on this guy's taxes! What a scandal! Everyone's taxes should be unlimited, right? Wrong douche-bag. The amount of taxes should be unlimited. The tax percentage should be limited. Because there is no limit on the amount of income you can earn...

Admit it - you libtards don't like tax limits of ANY kind. Period. Your phony hair-splitting fools nobody, dickmuncher.
Simmons may well be a complete jackass, but... at least he didn't join the weather underground back in the '60s... And an 8 year old Obama did? Oh, you meant the other guy every fact checking group has proven repeatedly, to most reasonable and non douche-bag type people, that he has few ties to the president. And none of the ties implied by the attack ad.

What actions either of our interpretations of the use of the word "dodging", or that interpretation by the article author, are pretty much opinions.

The fact I pointed out, the one you'll say anything to keep from admitting, is that you cut parts of the quote out that the author and I both felt supported the point in question. You changed a quote. You got caught passing counterfeit money.
You lied, you got caught, and now you're mad.
Mad you got caught. Not that you lied.
You could have left the quote intact and put forth your argument that the author and I disagree with.
For you, it was easier to lie than deal with the truth.
Because instead of being shamed by your exposed "cut and replace" quote and shutting the fuck up, you will continue to blame others and "dodge" your personal responsibility to admit, accept, and correct your mistakes
Cutting part of a quote out to make it seem to say one thing when in full context it clearly attempts to say another is truly a hatchet job..

I then explained why the restored parts proved nothing and failed to support anything other than the sad truth that libtards don't require facts or evidence before they accuse their opponents of tax-dodging.
Here is a famous quote from a famous opinion written by a famous judge (Learned Hand) 80 years ago.
Read this quote again and again, dickmuncher. It may help you and your fellow libtards pull your heads out of your asses and stop thinking like Nazis when it comes to taxes:
"Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands."
You're not only a fucking douche-bag, you're at the top of the entire heap of fucking douche-bags on this board. At least the rest of them don't constantly try to puff up their feeble arguments by putting everything in boldface.
