Just to be clear, paying little or no taxes is only government fail to collect them. It has nothing to do with responsibilities. There is no law in the world that forces anyone to maximize tax that it has to pay, so everyone has a right to pay as little tax as legally allowed.

The difference in your arguments is that the OP is saying they are paying 5% of the tax they are legally required (not allowed) to pay. It is just by using deceitfulness that they do not have to pay the full tax owed.

There is a big difference between minimizing your tax burden and pretending you dont have assets/revenue so you straight up dont have to pay taxes on them.
