Is the offense of legally not paying taxes? I put all the income I can into tax-deferred and non-taxable investment vehicles. To legally avoid paying taxes. I have never bought a car from a guy on Craig's List, so I don't know if I'd declare and pay that state sales tax, or not.

Or is it being both rich and avoiding paying taxes? 'Cause if it's the latter, then that brings us right back to the Bush tax cuts, especially for the wealthiest Americans, including the estate tax, which right now happens to be zero (a good thing that I think should be made permanent, BTW)

broken record...when in doubt, blast the other guy!
