It is the neo-con way:

May 4-6, 2007 -- World Bank sources emphasize that World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz's attempt to extort a $400,000 bonus from the bank before he resigns comes with a nice fringe benefit. As an international civil servant, Wolfowitz's bonus, as well as his salary, are exempt from US income taxes. Ditto the $193,590 salary for Wolfowitz's girl friend Shaha Riza. It is the neo-con way: the neo-cons start the wars and tax the poor and middle class to pay for their wars while they enjoy the best tax-avoidance schemes neo-con politicians can contrive. The French revolutionaries beheaded their king and queen for much less perfidy.
