I'm not judging anyone, but I'd like to remind everyone of something.
Remember Al Capone? He was a notorious Chicago gangster who owned the police and the politicians. He had many, many people killed, businesses blown up and ran the bootlegging operation in the Chicago area.
For years, law enforcement tried to stop him. But WHAT WAS IT that they were able to charge him with and send him to prison for? Was it murder? Distributing an illegal substance? Racketeering? NO - IT WAS TAX EVASION!
You might think you are being slick and pulling one over on the IRS and you may even get away with it. But if you are ever caught and they can see that it was intentional - and not just an error - then you are in for a world of trouble.
Be a patriot and pay your taxes. The government may not be perfect, but they have to pay for the military, police, fire, road construction, the court system, lighting the streets and highways, research and development, space exploration, etc. All of which have benefitted every citizen. Technology flows down from the military and NASA. And today's medical research grant just may turn into something that eventually saves your life. For all of the government infighting and problems, the system STILL works remarkably well.
