Would you pay no taxes if you could?

Nope. Sounds like a bad idea. I, for one, don’t mind having public services such as schools/libraries, and working infrastructure.

I agree with this.

@PurpleClogs

We don’t look for loopholes. They tend to scream “audit me!” which I’m not afraid of, but just don’t want to mess with.

I also agree with this.

@DrFidelius

I will pay every cent the government legally and legitimately asks of me. If the tax code is written in such a way that they do not ask me for anything, then I will cheerfully comply with that.
I must presume that my representatives know more about government finances than I do as a private citizen and so I would be loathe to question their decisions on what I owe for their services.

I also agree with this.

My answer to the OP is, if I do my taxes on TurboTax and the program decides to use that loophole, I’d have no problem with it. I’m not going out and desperately looking for loopholes on my own.

So if paying no taxes is not paying your fair share, and a good American pays his fair share, then those who pay no taxes are not good Americans. Got it.

… and those who get more back than they put in are the worst Americans of all. Don’t forget that part.
