Berman Hopkins Tax Philosophy

Pay No Tax Before its Time- Berman Hopkins adopted Federal Judge Learned Hand’s philosophy on taxation as quoted in the famous case of Gregory vs. Helvering “anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible.  There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one’s taxes.  Over and over again the Courts have sai that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible.  Everyone does it, rich and poor alike, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands.”
