Write offs, deductions, producing things yourself instead of buying them, holding assets in trusts... there are so many ways to do this legally.

And of course there are violations of the law that some people engage in like not paying taxes on the cash your grandmother sent you for your birthday, or not paying the sales tax on the value of the lettuce your neighbor gave you because they had extra.

But the legal tax evasion that people/companies with lots of money that is the real crime.

People generally don't want zero taxes (and thus no public police, courts, fire service, potable water, etc.). They want taxes that are fair, and services that collectively cost less than a profit taking company can provide (because: profit).
