Simply put, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should! When I was making a halfway livable wage I would try my best to spend my money locally. I wanted to support the local economy. Times I could have gone to Walmart and save some money just didn't feel right. I knew I benefited more by keeping it local. I filed my taxes under the 1040ez form because I had no problem paying taxes because it was the right thing to do.
Maybe, if I made millions I would probably take advantage of certain write-offs but I wouldn't go out of my way to avoid paying my taxes and my money would definitely stay in my Country. I can only figure the main difference is I have a conscience. I like having police departments and fire departments. I like knowing there is an agency that is supposed to look out for the interests of people when it comes to the food we eat, the air we breath, or the water we drink. But that's just me!
