"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 or 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..."
