Apparently you've not dealt with insurance companies?
I have, at one point they wanted to have it moved to Delaware.

Yes, Hillary is taking advantage of the current tax structure. So do many of the average business owners in the US.
Should we change the tax code to punish the wealthy/elite in a way that also hurts the small business owner?
What has been laid out here is only a small sample of the vortex of wealth that Hillary and Bill Clinton have received from corporations, foundations, foreign organizations and others with an interest in U.S. public policy. No one with any knowledge of politics believes these payments to be disinterested or impartial; they are part of a larger political system that rewards politicians for fealty and obedience.
In January of 2009 Mrs. Clinton left the senate to become the U.S. Secretary of State. Her salary in that job was $186,600. While that’s not exactly small, It’s only $12,600 more per year than the salary of a U.S. senator at $174,000. It hardly accounts for a $10 million hike in the Hillary Clinton net worth total the same year. Also in 2009, Clinton reported buying $5 million to $26 million in money market funds and real estate.
It’s unclear where the sudden jump in the Hillary Clinton net worth amount came from. In 2009, Mrs. Clinton wasn’t paid any of her famous six-figure speaking fees. Those payouts didn’t start until 2014. Her last book, Living History, was published in 2003. She received a record advance of $8 million for the memoir, bit that didn’t enter into 2009 Hillary Clinton net worth calculations. Her next book, Hard Choices didn’t come out until 2014. Finally, the 2008/2009 financial crisis should have decreased Clinton’s wealth. So where did the $10 million dollar jump in Hillary Clinton’s net worth in 2009 come from? It’s very difficult to say.
Another curious change to the Hillary Clinton net worth total came in 2011. In that year, Mrs. Clinton’s wealth suddenly dropped from $30 million to $13 million. That’s over 50%. There was no drop in the stock market to account for the $17 million fall in Hillary Clinton’s net worth. However, Clinton’s public reports show that in 2011, she “exchanged” $5-$25 million in investments. It’s not clear if the exchange left the money in her name or transferred it to another person. It’s common practice for politicians to place assets in a spouse’s name. Whether that’s to hide the money from public view or for some other reason isn’t openly discussed. If Mrs. Clinton transferred the money to husband Bill, it would account for $17 million disappearing from Hillary Clinton’s net worth.

So what's the difference between Delaware and Panama?
Shell corps are set up to hide money and launder so that the owners are very hard to pin down.
And they have 5? lol!

Donald Trump says he uses 'every single thing in the book' to avoid paying taxes
Seems like this is what they all do, not just the Clinton's. I guess they're taking a page out of ol' Trump's book.
So you appear to be fine with this practice. Disgusting.
Everybody is doing it so why not Hilary, right?

I sure have. They are bound by the state law in which they operate and can only have their cases moved to other jurisdictions under extenuating circumstances.
