Answer 6 :
No. They should first apply the law.
Answer 7 :
If you mean higher return on their investments then yes that's their job, but if you mean helping them to avoid tax than no. There are three things certain in life, birth, death and taxation. Everyone has to pay taxes, just simplify the system, make the rich carry their fair share of the burden and and cut out the loopholes. That way the money they pay towards tax avoidance will go into the pot, and the tax avoidance lawyers will have to find themselves somthing useful to do.
