That is why LEGAL Tax avoidance is a good thing. Paying more taxes than you owe is just stupid, any way that you want to spin it.
People that have been convicted of tax EVASION are not to be confused with people that use every LEGAL means at their disposal to avoid paying more than "their fair share".
But many many of those people convicted of tax evasion were convinced what they were doing was legal, some because they read about it on the Internet. And guess what, bad advice is never a defense to a tax evasion case even if you got the advice from a lawyer or a CPA. The courts have ruled that way because people would just go to bad lawyers if they didn't.
