What on earth is wrong with not paying taxes legally? What taxes does anyone pay other than those that they must pay?

If the government wants a tax to be paid they need to make it simple and unconditional. If there are loopholes or ways to legally avoid it, they will be discovered and people will take advantage of them.

By and large these loopholes are only accessible to people with enough money to buy islands.

The ultra-rich get tax loopholes and the rest of us have to make up for it with increased taxes and decreased government services.
