Apparently he did follow the law. The fact that a man can "lose" enough
money to not have to pay income tax for years and years and still be a
billionaire should indicate that the law needs to be changed. He used a
loophole to avoid paying income tax when he has a a lot more money than
a lot of working Joes who do pay their taxes, but he is not classified
as a tax evader. Yet, any man who got a deferral from the draft because
he was attending university and getting a degree is technically a draft
dodger.

We have no draft here. I applied to the army. I went through the tests.
the medical and the interviews. I had my last interview on a Wednesday.
I had an interview with Canada Manpower on Thursday, Manpower called me
Friday to tell me I had the job and to report to work on Monday. The
army called me at my new job to tell me I was accepted and to report for
training in Chilliwack in two weeks. I turned it down.
