I'm all in favor of collecting taxes that are owed. It seems weird to be focusing on the top 1% of tax evaders though. There's supposedly $211bn unpaid in P90

I'm all in favor of collecting taxes that are owed. It seems weird to be focusing on the top 1% of tax evaders though. There's supposedly $211bn unpaid in P90 through P99; $155bn in P60 through P90. Is tax evasion more OK for people with lower incomes?

> Is tax evasion more OK for people with lower incomes? Legally, no, but morally... kind of? It's certainly not great, but I -- subjectively, certainly -- find less fault in a person who makes $80k a year "hiding" a couple thousand of income vs. someone who makes $10M a year hiding a couple hundred thousand. The middle-class person possibly really needed that extra cash lying around, while the rich person probably would be fine without it.
