To: a fool in paradise
The Beatles made the movie HELP! as a tax dodge. They had to get out of England awhile as they were making so much Beatlemania money that their tax burden was high.

Plus they specifically wrote "Tax Man" because england had a 95% marginal tax rate. "One part for you nineteen for me."

In addition, though Paul spoke a few years ago about how the rich could afford higher taxes, in the late 90's he had an elite team of lawyers arranging his dying wife's estate to avoid paying millions in taxes.

Hypocrisy that knows no bounds!

Yeah, tell me about it. Red Ted Kennedy fought against ending the inheritance tax. How much of HIS estate went to the IRS?
