True, but then again we tax our business within an inch of their lives. It's not surprising that they would seek loopholes or opt out of paying when possible.

I'm afraid I have people like this in my family. They will take tax avoidance to the legal limit and then move into tax evasion if necessary. When you're talking about millions of dollars, it's worth keeping the money a little extra longer to make even more money on it. The penalties (if you have to pay) don't outweigh the benefits.
