I would want the people I work for to use whatever laws are available to cut back on corporate taxes owed.  

Whether the laws should be changed is a different argument. 

I wouldn't consider it a separate argument. If the laws should be changed, it means there's something wrong with the current laws, which in turn makes abusing the existing law morally shady. We're pretty much talking about the morality of Trump evading taxes here, and I don't think we can fully dismiss 'should be law be changed' as an argument then. It's not the main point but it's still related.

I respectfully disagree because I would bet, if I were a betting man, far more people try their best to pay as little taxes as possible than just write a check without attempting any write-offs.
