Why is tax minimization despicable? Countries should compete on all levels including economic efficiencies. Lower taxes is higher efficiency and an admirable achievement for a government.
What is despicable is that we all pay more taxes than our governments should actually need if they spent the money they took from us wisely.

- shaftoe 12y agoPerhaps it's worthwhile to have a mild counterbalance to the tendency to spend an ever increasing amount of other people's money. It's not like "better service" is a driving force behind any government, ever.
