"Do you have anything against people who have accountants review their tax returns with a fine toothed comb in order to avoid as many taxes as possible?"

Of course not. Talk about stupid analogies!

What the hell is dishonest about that? Where's the misrepresentation? Where's the intent to deceive?

Here's an example. When I get a new job and have to fill out a W-4 form, I claim 1 dependent in order for the withholding on each paycheck to be lower. Now, I'm not married nor do I, to the best of my knowledge, have any children. So technically I am lying when filling this form out, yet it is perfectly legal.
