Most things that wealthy people want that has to be purchased with after tax dollars, like I don't know a flight to visit a family member, they can pay for just fine out of the pittance they pay themselves in salary.

The real trick they pull is making everything a company. A man building a model rocket at home? That's with after taxed dollars. A man building a rocket to the moon? That's a business. Goes for all sorts of things. At some point you have to say, no, corporations please pay tax as you make it.
