" Any attempt to avoid meeting that amount in his mind is wrong."
Right on that one. Knowledgeable people have a huge advantage over those who do not know the tax system. I do believe we should share the cost of government as fairly as possible. And I do believe that gov't costs should be reasonable and attempts to reach that goal should be encouraged. For example, for people to  complain so much about government and support gov't run health care!!!  Something inconsistent there
