ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax.
Together, this small group, by collectively exempting more than $35 billion, saved about $1.3 billion in taxes.

How Billionaires Sidestepped a Tax Aimed at the Rich
Wall Street financiers were a clear target of the tax, but some, on questionable legal grounds, have claimed their outsized profits were exempt, sometimes avoiding hundreds of millions in taxes.

Weird thing to brag about right now.
Haven’t read it, but I wonder if it discusses how the Bush administration treated the entire Somali-American population as suspected terrorists after 9/11. Or how the Bush DEA cracked down on qat cafes like they were crack dens.

UDOT originally sought to purchase easements, but Adams negotiated the agency into buying the full parcels — land it did not need — for approximately $3.9 million.
Who got the better end of a multimillion-dollar U.S. 89 land deal: Stuart Adams or UDOT?
What started as a $1.3 million offer was negotiated up to $3.9 million by the Utah Senate president — another example of the deep ties Utah lawmakers have with the state’s real estate and development.
