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.
-Judge Learned Hand Helvering v. Gregory, 69
F.2d 809, 810-11 (2d Cir. 1934).
Since the Reagan Revolution, conservatives have known that
avoiding taxes IS a patriotic duty!
The true measure of a person is not how much their charity deduction
is but how much he has avoided in taxes.
