Clues
Without saying much, lets ponder some points. Many large corporations have tax consutlants and departments, whose sole purpose is to minimimze the taxes paid by the corportation. Why then should we be surprised that very high income/net worth individuals have the same advisors with the same goal. Is their value, and compensation based on how much they get their clients to pay in taxes or how much they avoid using all the legal loop holes. I know how my alum did not pay much in taxes, it was all legal. We have all sorts of loopholes in the tax code. Personally I would prefer a flat tax, everone pays, no filing, no deductions, no tax preparers anon. Some simple examples: if you control a company, you can buy origional art with all your profits to decorate the offices. No profit is shown for taxation, the art is expensed and accumulates to be enjoyed. A very interesting place are the Jersey Isles, If you know about them, you know why.
