Tax Avoidance: Moral or Not?

Define "take action".
If I find out that you lied to me about something that I felt was important, the circumstances involved might tell me that what you did was wrong.  I can't do too much in response, but I certainly would have justifiable action to take.  Segregate the individual from my social circle, talk some mad shit, etc.

I don't think this is what you mean though.  It wouldn't make much sense given the context.

I'd say Tax Avoidance isn't necessarily immoral in and of itself.  I think a lot of people that do it are immoral though, and do it for immoral(selfish) reasons.
