Shouldn't they be obligated to? You can't help but create taxes and tax dodging at the same time, but the fact that people try to get away with murder is no rea

  The problem specifically with taxes is that the line between taxable and not has to be drawn between two behaviors that people are commonly engaged in. Charity and for-profit business are both normal activities. Then citizens will want their activity to be classified as non-profit and governments will want to classify it as for-profit and you have to establish exactly where the line is because there will be tons of people standing right on top of it. You don't want to tax charities providing cancer treatment for children, and you also don't want to cause them to waste resources paying lawyers or inefficiently structuring their activities to avoid being accused of tax evasion. Whereas for murder, you don't have to be all that concerned you're going to over-deter people from inducing fatalities.
