I'm not suggesting he should be exempt from taxes. But people are allowed to move, as far as I'm aware. People do it all the time, so it's pretty ridiculous to link moving to tax cheating. Given that Edwards is not currently under investigation for tax evasion from when he was living here, I'd say it's pretty good odds that he paid taxes on his amassed fortune far and square. My point on the company is that if you're targeting someone for not contributing tax wise it's pretty non sensical to target the guy who has contributed so much to our public coffers both through his own money and the multi billion dollar companies he's founded that employ thousands of people. Unless, again, it's against the law to move and we place all the country's billionaires under house arrest.
