The power differential involved can make it very sinister, at least from my perspective. If everyone could be equally resourceful in avoiding taxes then I would agree completely. If everyone is able to avoid paying taxes with equal ease (or difficulty) there is no problem. However, I don’t think that’s the case. Some can throw lawyers at the problem, others can’t. That makes it problematic. Yes, it’s a systemic issue, too (and that is likely the place where it has to be fixed), but I don’t think there is anything wrong in thinking that using more esoteric tax avoidance schemes available only to the few is deeply immoral, if not illegal.
