One of those from the Right who is apt to comment on this blog has noted that earlier today I said in my blog on Tescos that
Tax planning and tax avoidance are both normal and legal
My response is to quote President Roosevelt’s Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, who said:
if taxes are the price of civilized society, then too many citizens want the civilization at a discount.
we’re entitled to ask if they’re paying the right price, and normal has never necessarily meant acceptable.
