"Aversion" and "evasion" are not the same: if it was the former, his purported income would be verifiable (As we all know, it is not.). If it was the latter, his purported income could have been sheltered from the government (As we all know, this is very common and very illegal.). To add to that point, no one really uses the term "tax aversion," because it doesn't really refer to any financial term. If you heard someone say, "Donald Trump's assets are greater than what's on record, because of tax aversion," they were almost definitely referring to him being guilty of tax evasion.



 

Jay walking is illegal too, people do it and we dont freak out. If taxes were much lower it wouldnt be a problem.

Jaywalking doesn't bankrupt the US government and result in the remainign populace picking up the tab. Additionally, taxes on the wealth ARE much lower and effectively around 15-20% (under Eisenhower they were 90%).
