I am in upper brackets, too - I’m happy to pay more if someone who is struggling doesn’t have to.

Dodging taxes is unpatriotic.

So have a look at what amount of taxes the rich in the US (don't) pay, and you know how patriotic they are.

I think intentionally avoiding taxes should be a very serious crime. It's stealing from everyone.

I guess I am too, maybe it’s my nouveau-ness (not that I’m anywhere near “rich”), but I don’t understand why the attitude isn’t “just go make more money”? (Keeping in mind we’re talking about people who don’t need the money for subsistence and are clearly capable of generating cash)
