I still have no idea what his point was.
There wasn't a point, the post is just published personal musings... And that's okay. And awesome. This feels like a throwback to a pre social media internet.

Click bait. Do not waste your time. >Looking at the finances of people who have more money that you or I do can be a little unsettling.

His full name and contact info is on the website: https://evergreensmallbusiness.com/795-s-corporation-tax-ret... He's a small business CPA. He did some research and published it.

I was sarcastic.
