Just because it's legal doesn't make it ethical

I concur with this. The point of the article isn’t to say he doing anything illegal. It is to show the rest of the population how screwed up the tax code is to allow such things to occur. It would be trivial to fix. Put an upper limit on what can be held in a tax advantaged account. $5 million. $10 million. Whatever. Not $5 billion. That wasn’t the original intent of the program.

Right, and often it takes journalists describing the legal, unethical, behavior before we decide to make it illegal.

If we aren't supposed to write negatively about anything someone does as long as it is legal, how would we ever come around to deciding to making something illegal?
