I recall an old song that applies to these threds: Skip A Rope
The verse that applies:
Cheating on your taxes, don't it feel cool
What's that you said about the Golden Rule
Forget the rules just play to win
And hate you neighbor for the shade of his skin
Skip a rope
Skip a rope
Listen to the children as they play
Ain't it kind of funny what the children say
Skip a rope
That was popular around 1970 give or take a few years.
To those who would like to imply that there is something wrong with LEGALLY keeping your taxes as low as possible, I offer this quotation from the noted jurist Learned Hand:
"Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes.
Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands."
