True enough. I’m pro-fair tax.
I just think people are kidding themselves if they think a proper tax system won’t have an oversight agency with punishment power and punitive enforcement measures to deal with the portion of the population which will either willfully evade or completely ignore laws. There has to be a collection mechanism, and there have to be consequences to not following the law. Tax anarchy is a lousy idea.

I have an old friend. State IRS lawyer. He said it breaks down into three groups. Very wealthy, very smart with good high priced talent. Very long, expensive, problematical to go after and hard to explain to your boss why you are burning up labor dollars for years.
So, not so much those people.
The other end. Broke, tapioca. Can’t squeeze blood from a turnip, it still costs the agency often more than what they can get out.
Ah, but the middle group! There is good hunting. People who have enough to size right off the bat, and can not afford to fight...or the fight/defense will cost them more, even if they are in the right, then the demand of the agency.
Basically he said the middle class is were the action is, for him. Quick in and out with low costs.
