A new report from the IRS shows that nearly 21,000 American households with incomes of $200,000 and up didn't owe federal income taxes.
If you're like me, your first question is: How can that be?
Your possible next question: Can I get that kind of tax treatment?
Tax experts say it's not that difficult to avoid owing federal income
taxes. And it doesn't require giving up U.S. citizenship, a step that Facebook's co-founder took last year, reportedly to lower his tax bill.
Most likely, no single tax move by these households — among the top 3
percent of U.S. earners — allowed them to sidestep taxes. Instead, tax
experts say, these filers just had the right mix of deductions and
credits.

The right blend of charitable foundations they own.Here's how it goes-Warren donates all his wealth to charity-his own charity,get it!Then his charity buys everything he needs and he just uses and bebefits from it.
Its called loopholes. who makes these tax laws? not the taxpayers. I will deduct this and deprecate that. Maybe we will let the middle class deduct mortgage interest.
On average, there are 5,600 "normal income folks" for every 1 "rich" that don't pay taxes.
You can blame the 21,000 or the 117,000,000.
