What's the offense?

Is it just being rich enough to own a yacht? I dunno about you guys, but I admire capitalism and people who make money. And if someone has made enough money to purchase a yacht, if that's what they want, more power to them! Congrats!

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)
