well yeah, I do agree with that if such a 'clear' case as the example in the OP were a genuine question. Not 1 person has said don't pay, and I don't think anyone on this board would genuinely give that as an answer to the OP.

Having the OP as a hard and fast case though of 'morals' in it's entirety is different though imo, eg I know for an absolute fact my dad wouldn't cheat the taxman out of a penny, because with his moral code, that's wrong. I'm pretty sure most people have a different moral code when it comes to that particular scenario though
