Sure enough the tax code has similar "dump truck" sized holes. That doesn't mean we change the rates so as to balance out with the crooks.

- ChuckMcM 14y agoWell in the US it seems like they do. Rates and rules are changed to achieve a certain revenue level, and there is pro-forma evidence that this is means taxing those least able to construct plausible evasions. Its only after that tap starts drying up that the more 'complicated' targets are gone after. Watching the UK Parliment tear into the tech guys for using legal ways to avoid paying taxes in the UK is an example of legislative bodies turning their sights from the 'easier' (but now nearly tapped out) tax payers to the less easy ones.
