Spanish authorities raid Google offices over tax

I would love to give all my income minus expenses. I could easily make it so I have zero after my expenses. But that's not how things work for individuals... and that's a large part of the difference.

Of course that's how it works. There is nothing that stops you from donating extra to the government. If you really wanted to you could easily do it.

Maybe a better analogy is don't take advantage of the tax relief as laid out in the law.

The tax authorities wouldn't stop you if you decided not to deduct your 401k contributions from your income. Or to not deduct your mortgage interest.
