Scrooge Obeying the Law

Hello everyone:

I agree with the impression that U$ does not always obey the laws: Though
generally he actually IS a good citizen, sometimes he tries to "slip
between the legal bars" for his own profit. For example, the celebrated
censored pages in "Back to the Klondike", where he admits he had not paid
the taxes upon his property in Yukon.

And what about the scene in which U$ tries to buy a whole bunch of golden
eggs and feathers for just 10$ in "The golden gooses island (or so)"?

I guess that is the sense in which some of us believe that a businessman
does not always earn his money *square*.

(And in "The Paul Bunyan machine", he destroys the giant Beagle Boys
machine *illegaly*, because the BB were employed to do a job. OK, OK, at
the end it turns to be that BB having had paid with false money).

Santiago.
