Society also would be better if you spend your free time sweeping the streets, but you don't have to - we don't require people to do things that are not required by law.
Using legal tax avoidance strategies is not tax evasion.
Also, requiring people (whether legally or morally) to use interpretation of law that's not the most favorable to them is a giant, bad slippery slope.
- leereeves 2y agoDid techdmn say it was tax evasion? Techdmn is right that there are many losers because Congress made a regressive tax structure legal. The lawyers win. The rich clients win. Society loses. Edit: I'm "posting too fast" so I'll have to respond here. > The ethical/moral argument is IMO lost when talking about people using the structure. Why? An immoral act doesn't become moral simply because it is legal. (Consider slavery, bribery disguised as lobbying, or murder in The Purge). And even many rich people admit that paying a lower tax rate than their employees is immoral.
