I literally just woke up! So Michael Dell sets up his wife as 49 percent owner to avoid paying property taxes on his purchase price of $200 million for the Fairmont Miramar, where I spent my wedding night 23 years ago.

I feel like such an idiot. I am an educated engineer, but thank goodness for great journalism. So this is why our schools are suffering. Shame on Dell!

This is outrageous.
