I think you're confusing tax evasion with tax avoidance. As my old boss says, tax evasion is illegal, but tax avoidance is my right. If there is a legal loophole that you can exploit to pay less taxes, why wouldn't you take it? Everyone wants to minimize their tax payments. No one files their taxes thinking they paid too little in taxes. It's not up to me to not exploit a loophole, it's up to the government to close it.
