That organization hired some of the brightest MBA graduates from the nation's top Business Schools. One of the ways the company earned money was finding new ways for large corporations to circumvent taxes legally. They were successful at it. I discovered that each time new tax laws were passed by Congress, the company would receive new contracts and begin the process of end-running the new laws once again. I learned that the top students of University's don't go to work for the government, they go to the highest bidder, the Fortune 100 companies. So they are pitted against the folks that draft laws for our nation. It's not a fair battle and the corporations win and will win every time in such a contest, imho. Don
