When I hear politicians cry about tax evaders, I think, wow, someone is giving them a taste of their own medicine. A system design that relies on theft only promotes more of it. I am not telling anyone to evade taxes, just sharing an observation.

Did everyone else pay their taxes today too? I ran the numbers with my accountant for taxes yesterday, and I owe an obscene amount.
In Genesis, Joseph recommended to Pharaoh that he increase the tax rate to 20% in order to prepare for the coming famine — double what God required of Abraham, Jacob, and Moses. The US government, on the other hand, demands 30%. Do they think they're 3x more necessary than God himself?
