Judge Learned Hand came down with a decision DECADES ago that stated it is the right/obligation of every taxpayer to arrange his finances in a way to pay the least amount of taxes possible (paraphrased).This ability has definitely helped in wealth creation for me and others.It is crazy that the tax burden continues to be carried by fewer and fewer people.
