If it were only that benign. That is, only a somewhat honest playing the tax rules. However, these characters are politically connected and seem able to buy the results they seek. More akin to the mob business model that MS tried to emulate. Indeed, Bill G. seems to be involved. Read the Groklaw coverage; it's not pretty. Watching corporations getting special treatment by our new fascist form of government does not fill my mind with confidence. These people and companies have gotten their way in the past. Look at the full course press to give telecom companies immunity for knowingly breaking the law, retroactively. http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20080214125705140

The word 'fascist' is so often used as a pejorative now days that the actual meaning has been forgotten (or never known) by many. God help us if we actually were (any of us) living under a fascist government.

"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." -- Franklin D Roosevelt, 1938.
