It's my experience that many wealthy people are actually quite happy to pay their share of taxes. I think that feeling that it's necessary to defraud the ATO to get ahead is poor man's thinking. There's enough profit out there for everybody, including the ATO.
Definitely not the wealthy people I know. The wealthy people I know do everything they can to reduce their tax legally. If I managed to reduce my share of taxes to Packer levels, I would be happy to pay it too!
I still don't get why the two have to be mixed. Just because I don't defraud the ATO doesn't mean I am happy to pay my legal share of taxes. I hate it, but I haven't found a legal way to not pay it and I don't really pay enough to justify fraud.
