What a weird answer you gave.
My post stated a simple concept. Currently we are losing hundreds of billions of dollars in tax revenue in the underground economy. We also lose untold billions in lost productivity as people struggle doing tax returns and gathering required info.
I can't fathom what angle you are coming from, but you certainly do not make sense.
Yes, too simple
Currently we are losing hundreds of billions of dollars in tax revenue in the underground economy.
Much of that economy is illegal. Do you think that government should receive income from drug dealers and disease ridden prostitutes or arrest them? If government profits from crime, government will encourage crime.
My angle is that you can consider taxation as a form of moral punishment, or an equivalent excuse to tax. It's not a good way to tax. Don't use the tax code to encourage crime to reduce your own tax burden. Its simply bad law.
