Can you explain why anyone should report their income to the government?

So if you are doing something illegal (e.g. sell drugs) they can gig you easier for not reporting income. Think perjury traps sprung with great abandon of late.

Note that the gov't doesn't get any IT for work you do for yourself. Cut your lawn? Tax Free! Under the FT, stuff you make for yourself won't be taxed.
