When you got your last mortgage, didn't your advisor tell you the 'best' option, taking into account tax breaks and whether you are single- or dual income family? Sure, it's less money we're talking about, but it's 'tax planning' or 'tax avoidance' all the same. I find it weird that people complain about 'them' not paying their full share, yet use their retirement tax incentives to the max every December.

Some schemes stretch credulity and fly in the face of the intent of the law.
If I choose to pay 22% down instead of 20% so I can qualify to write off my interest payments, that's one thing. The schemes revolving around putting out shitty books of poetry or what not mentioned above are an entirely different beast.
My own way of looking at it is that it becomes more immoral the further out of your way you go and the further you stray from the original intent of the law
