Tax Planning

"There are two systems of taxation in our country; one for the informed and one for the uninformed...Over and over again Courts have said there is nothing sinister in so arranging one's affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible.  Everybody does so, rich and poor, and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands.  Taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions.  To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant."

--Honorable Learned Hand, US Appeals Court Justice
