Particularly since this appears to be a once only tax evasion maneuver, wonder why isn't it getting more attention. Context plays such an important role. Maybe its because the difference between 40-50% seems small, and they're neglecting those shareholders who own hundreds of thousands of shares! Here's a comic which may explain why its too difficult for the 6 o'clock news. I'll warn you beforehand, the joke is not PG. http://xkcd.com/558/ Very interesting article.
