Law and morality are rarely the same. The man argues that governments should write off third-world debt - i.e. increase the burden on taxpayers - whilst simultaneously reducing his own tax liability. It's legal, but it's flagrant hypocrisy.
What if he contributes the money that would have otherwise gone to this or that tax authority to charities instead?

I don't know if he does or doesn't but what if he did?

Even if he doesn't, I will not call it immoral to stick to the letter of the law. If the law is broken, fix it.

Yahoshua, I saw that video ages ago. Get a reliable lawyer or head for the hills!
