I said earlier, I and others would likely never be able to avoid paying some paltry sum like £10 of due taxes, so why should anyone else be able to just because they are in a more privileged position.
Being able to do it and wanting to do it does not make it right.
Although actually as to your point of finding anyone who doesn't want to pay more tax, I for one would be quite content to see my taxes raised 'IF' the raised funds were going direct to the NHS or the most vulnerable.

If we had a breakdown of our taxes like we see on a council tax bill ( I said on the on the TV licence thread that 1.60 added for social care wasn't enough) maybe people would be more likely to pay. Say for instance you could choose to direct an extra percentage into the NHS, as it stands it goes into a black hole and a lot of it gets wasted like 9 million on a pamphlet. There will always be people who will swerve the system it doesn't make it right but you can close every loophole and anther will be found. As for listening to politicians the majority are feathering their own nests in my view.
