You can arrange your lifestyle to keep your taxes as low as possible.
This is a quote from a US District Judge years ago.
In another famous quote regarding the U.S. income tax law, Judge Hand wrote:
"Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes[. . . . ]" Helvering v. Gregory, 69 F.2d 809, 810-11 (2d Cir. 1934).
