I'm not sure political sway has ever affected a persons motivation to hide taxes!

  That's actually an interesting question I don't think I've ever seen any real data on. Anecdotally, I find libertarians and Republicans to be far more likely to subscribe to anti-tax rhetoric than Democrats, but I don't know if that translates to any meaningful action in practice beyond the fringes. ...although in this specific case, McAfee is, well, kind of a fringe unto himself.

Are you measuring how successfully they hide their taxes or how prevalent it is in that political sphere? > Anecdotally, I find libertarians and Republicans to be far > more likely to subscribe to anti-tax rhetoric than > Democrats, but I don't know if that translates to any > meaningful action in practice beyond the fringes. I would guess that you might be a Democrat voter then? The reason I ask is because you might vote for them because they seem trustworthy, or they seem trustworthy because you vote for them.
