I would call that tax avoidance, not evasion, but no matter.<p>Judge Learned Hand (a real person&#x27;s name) wrote, &quot;Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one’s taxes.&quot;<p>I agree wholeheartedly.<p>I imagine that were I in their shoes, I&#x27;d be fairly confident that I could do more good for the world by private philanthropy, directed to causes that I felt compelling, than by fueling general government spending&#x2F;avarice around the world.
