> It’s much more difficult to argue that employing legal methods to reduce your tax burden is immoral.

I mostly don't care, but for the sake of argument, setting up shell corporations and then saying they made this purchase or that deal for tax reasons isn't exactly being honest.

It reminds me of the "characters" Bunbury and Ernest from Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest":

"""

You have invented a very useful younger brother called Ernest, in order that you may be able to come up to town as often as you like. I have invented an invaluable permanent invalid called Bunbury, in order that I may be able to go down into the country whenever I choose. Bunbury is perfectly invaluable. If it wasn't for Bunbury's extraordinary bad health, for instance, I wouldn't be able to dine with you at Willis's to-night, for I have been really engaged to Aunt Augusta for more than a week.
