"If tax returns start being used as prosecutorial tools for other crimes then the 5th amendment will kick in, folks can and will stop filing them and the "voluntary tax compliance system" will fall apart."

WHAT? What in the Wide Wide World of Sports are you talking about. The government has been using the tax code as a prosecutorial tool since well before they jailed Al Capone with it. Capone was a thug and a mobster but to the best of my knowledge, he was at least in the country legally. And yes, It is high time that the citizens of this country stopped submitting to this tyranny.

They nailed Capone not for what he reported, but for what he didn’t report, i.e. tax evasion.

"...voluntary tax compliance system will fall apart."

By the way, what part of this system is "voluntary". I'd love to know.
