Do you believe just because it’s legal, makes it right?

No. The law doesn't exist for any kind of moral good, it's to maintain a certain social order and power structure.

So lots of legal things are deeply immoral, and lots of illegal things are deeply moral.

No. I think lots of things are legal but not right. For example it is legal for a used car salesman to sell a car for more than it is worth but that isn't right ethically.

the government deems it legal when it suits them and makes them Money

no... and legal to the letter is not the same as legal in the spirit of the rules either...

Depends on the situation.

Platitudes are annoying...

I don't personally believe that, and it also goes the other way too. I'm all for respecting and obeying the law even if I don't agree with it. On the other hand there are many things to me that are illegal and really shouldn't be. The system isn't perfect and never has been...that's because we are not perfect.

Nope. Sense of personal responsibility always come first. For your instance if some one cross the red light and you know it’s nit your mistake if you hit them. Would you not stop if you have enough time to do so? Not to mention charities and avoiding corporate tex just because there are intentional flaws to cheat test

No. Just like because it's in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual doesn't make it a disorder.

nope. Their is a lot of grey area stuff that is legal that should still be illegal

Nope. Many things that are legal are not right, imho.
