"but she preferred paying the accountant"
Why?
At the extreme, would she have preferred to pay 100% to accountants rather than the government?
If everyone took that view, who would pay for the schools and roads etc? I suppose that wouldn't happen, the tax rate would be increased, so everyone's paying tax and a massive accountants bill, so really the rational move is to pay the tax.
