You're right. The only 'benefit' they get from a tax break is perhaps to climb up a position or two on the leaderboard of the world's (or America's. Not sure.) leaderboard. Their goal is to be in the highest position before things like money stop meaning very much and they head for their survival barracks where there will be nobody left to care and where they will ultimately die.

There was a movie in the 50’s about nuclear annihilation. I think it was “On the Beach.” Only the people in Australia were left and the radioactive cloud would arrive soon. Well, everyone died. That’s how I think of these crazy people with too much money will wind up. Alone and dead. Their money won’t save them, and in acquiring it, they never had a real life, just things.

So did a lot of people. They are still dead. The problem with too few working brain cells and too much money is that these people think they can do anything they want.
