6. Translate into Russian:

With the tax overhaul the President had announced as the major initiative for his second term, that fifty-million-dollar net worth, what he had labored a lifetime to build, would all but evaporate at his death, appropriated by the Internal Revenue Service. They were going to close all the loopholes and raise the inheritance tax rate to ninety percent on all wealth over three hundred thousand dollars. And any money flowing from personal and trust accounts to offshore accounts would be subject to withholding tax rates equal to or higher than the inheritance tax rates.
In fact, seventeen Penn-Mar plants across the United States and Europe were systematically sending drums of toxic waste to unauthorized sites, saving tens of millions of dollars a year in the process. Legal storage of toxic waste involved construction and the ongoing monitoring of sites set up to handle the waste. That would have totaled hundreds of millions in capital expenditures—which they were saving.
If Penn-Mar's board does not embrace our offer, if the offer is hostile in other words, we'll have to get at least eighty-five percent of the stock in the initial tender or the Germans won't be able to touch Penn-Mar for three years.
Farinholt did not like to tinker with the composition of the President's portfolio. It was full of blue-chip companies because the last thing he wanted was a real problem with one of the President's stocks. Just keep up with the Dow. That was all he wanted to do with that portfolio. But the truth was the President's portfolio had not kept pace with the Dow. It had increased just four percent since the beginning of the year, half the Dow's performance. He needed a winner.

1. Ключ ко всему был в проекте Плеяда. Без него они не cмогли бы свергнуть президента. С ним они ввергнут финансовый рынок в состояние хаоса и уничтожат эту ненавистную администрацию. 2. Складирование ядовитых отходов производства по закону включало в себя строительство специальных площадок и постоянный контроль за их состоянием. Это означало бы сотни миллионов дополнительных капитальных расходов. 3. Если мы заплатим больше, чем по 60 долларов за акцию, то владельцы этих акций не смогут рассчитывать на более чем 20-25% ежегодной прибыли, и это еще оптимистический прогноз.
