"low-hanging fruits" is implying that other fruits would be available for harvest - which they are not - the IRS lacks the funds to go after these other "fruits". So I'm not sure this metaphor is applicable. > do you really believe US corruption is minor enough that politicians will target the major donor class for tax violations en mass? Not giving the enforcement agencies the means to do the enforcement is not going to help either. If you are worried about corruption in the US, support efforts that get money out of politics, reversing Citizens United, etc. Not by virtually absolving rich people from paying taxes "because they already bought the politicians".
