[QUOTE="delericho, post: 3135582, member: 22424"] If cheating on one's taxes is Evil, then no, a Neutral character will not regularly and deliberately cheat on his taxes. (Note that, with the exception of Paladins, even Good characters can occasionally commit Evil actions are remain Good. It is the pattern of one's life that determines alignment... hence by near-constant use of the qualifier 'regularly'.) Not at all. I don't consider merely "not cheating on your taxes" to be a particularly Good thing. A Good thing would be to go above and beyond what is required of you, which would necessitate paying the full amount required in taxes, and then giving some additional sum (or service, or whatever) in charity to the needy. As I said, though, I don't really want to go into the morality of charity, taxes and the welfare state, because although I have opinions on all these things, I'm also very conscious of the 'no politics' rule here.
