I am sure he exploits the tax system to the max, and has some back door deals here and there, all these guys do, of course they do. However, I am sure the 400 + people he employs, couldn't give a flying you-know-what as long as their pay cheques clear.

I believe one of the items suggested by this movement is to get government to change the taxation system/rules/regulations/etc. that enable a guy like this to exploit the tax system. I also believe one of the items suggested by this movement is to remove corporate dollars from politics that may have enabled a guy like this to make a back room deal, if that is what you are possibly referring to.
So, in that case, as a member of society who pays taxes, works, and all that fun member of society stuff, I absolutely have a right to one penny of his if he is gaming the tax system and making back room deals to avoid paying the taxes and whatever else that he and his business should be paying. I don't care one iota if he polished his own poop in the process of getting to where he is today.
Edit to add: By saying I have a right to a penny from him, I mean that by being a member of a country/society that collects taxes/fees/whatever and that if he's gaming the system to avoid paying all those taxes/fees/whatever, then my country/society has a right to a penny from him, and as a result so do I.
