The Facebook initial public offering will offer an absolute tax windfall for California. Company insiders, like that schmuck Zuckerberg, may have to pay billions in taxes. Since he certainly qualifies as elite- on many fronts- he will be doing his damndest with an army of accountants charged to find loopholes and ways of avoiding taxes. http://blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2012/02/california-to-reap-taxes-from-facebook-ipo-but-hard-to-say-when.html
