ok. So shouldn't "we" the people, incarcerate those who tracked this failre, investigated, filled charges, processed thru the court system and incarcerated, for the money so ill-spent?
- smt88 12y agoNo. "We" (society) have decided to spend money to create consequences for breaking our laws. (Whether or not they're good laws is a separate issue.) So as citizens who don't want to be murdered or stolen from, the investigation/incarceration/etc. is a service being provided to us. In this case, you could debate how serious failure to pay taxes is, but as someone who pays his taxes, I still don't want someone else to avoid the same burden. There certainly have been societies without police or a civilian legal system, and there was a lot of violent crime (and very little of what we would call justice) in those societies. The Roman Republic is one example.
