I agree with the sentiment of your comment. But I also think some people crossed the line even though legal and playing by the rules.

For example, when law makers do things that would be considered to be a conflict of interest or due to them having insider info on what laws are coming to effect.

Or when people like Marianna Olszewski hiring a stranger to conceal her ownership of offshore accounts.

Somewhere there's a line crossed that isn't just reducing the tax a person has to pay. It went from tax reduction as an incentive to do something to being malicious.

When you deduct education expenses to reduce your tax, it's a reduction meant to encourage you to do something.
