Even though I almost always disagree with Campos' conclusions, I appreciate the thoughtfulness he brings to the issues. But Campos has got it exactly backwards. What's fraudulent is the welfare statism that eats up nearly half the nation's wealth. The party guilty of theft is the United States Congress, which takes money from the productive class to give to special interests and useless bureaucrats. It is a moral virtue to pay as little in taxes as possible.
Tax avoidance is legal and admirable.
According to the libertarian world view, Thoreau is a hero for practicing civil disobedience and enduring jail rather than pay taxes for an unjust cause. In a recent New York Times article, Denise Grady describes the problem of bacteria which are becoming resistant to common antibiotics. Libertarians might first note that the federal prescription requirements have failed to keep the problem in check. The federal government also created the mandatory insurance system for practically every medical expense. We might draw an analogy to auto insurance.
