People don't earn wealth in isolation though and the problem with people avoiding as much tax as they can is the idea they're freeloading off the state. The State provides much of the infrastructure that is needed to earn wealth: Education and healthcare for them, their staff and their clients. The police who provide law and order and allow society to function. We take so much of this kind of thing for granted. Even then not much wealth is 'created' out of nothing but rather moved around so a company's clients themselves have depending of those things to get their money to pay the company.

I agree that the current atmosphere is unhelpful as people become outraged at perfectly normal practises but as I said before I think that is more about people trying to damage Cameron, even left-wingers or Brexiters, than it is genuine horror.
