Is making more money legally inherently evil? Tax avoidance is ugly, but I’m strongly of the opinion that one must “hate the game, not the player”. Yes, tax avoidance is evil in the sense of “someone else is paying for it”, but I don’t see how that’s inherently different from profit-maximization which is a central tenet in capitalism. Different avenues, but the end result is indistinguishable. Additionally, I’d also like to highlight that Ireland has prospered through its meticulously designed tax laws.
