#1 Why Public Policy Promotes Zero Tax Planning 4 © January, 2013, Voorhees Intellectual Property LLC

…. If I went over the toll bridge and through the barrier without paying the toll, I would be committing tax evasion. If, however, I drive the extra mile and drive outside the city of Washington, I am using a legitimate, logical and suitable method of tax avoidance, and I am performing a useful social service by doing so. For my tax evasion, I should be punished. For my tax avoidance, I should be commended. The tragedy of life today is that so few people know that the free bridge even exists. ” -U. S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis 5 © January, 2013, Voorhees Intellectual Property LLC
