Paul Allen looks to save millions because of the recently passed stimulus package. Personally, if I had any sway (and, of course, I don't), I would institute a special tax on him, just for being a rude man who happens to have it all (or deceptively seems to).
When in Seattle, I worked at the building where he had many of his offices including Vulcan Northwest (now just Vulcan) and Starwave. I worked for the company managing the parking lot and he never once said a word to me, although I was almost always the first person he saw and I had to move his “traffic cone” which was used to protect his personal parking space.
You would think a man with so much money could smile every once in awhile and perhaps even tip a lot attendant who is stuck in a booth all day long.
