You do know that folks who earn a salary reported to the IRS can't "lie" on their tax forms, because the income is already reported.
The fundamental problem is that you are somehow angry because you have fallen for the line that there are trillions of dollars in funds to be had in rooting out tax cheats. That is an evasion by those who spend more than can reasonably be collected from the taxpyayers.
Fundamental problem? Lol. I believe that there are tax cheats because of what is reported on the media. How else would I be aware of it? Unreported income DOES exist and the IRS DOESN'T know about it. That also is true.
Nothing "fundamental" about those facts. As Sgt. Friday used to say: "Just the facts."
YOU are assuming, for some peculiar reason that the evasion of taxes paid is by people who SELF-ASSUME that they paid enough to Uncle Sam. The tax bracket one finds oneself is goes across the board. Everyone submits to it. Those who cheat take the risk. THEY are the ones who lose, in the end.
I'm SURE that your recall Al Capone who spent the last years of his life on Alcatraz for NOT paying income tax. If they could get him, they could get anyone.
