And this is the essential point here. The tax laws are not made by "We, The People", rather they are made by those who have vested, outside interests and sponsors. The issue is not people not paying tax illegally, it is that that are allowed, no encouraged, to pay less tax if they are ultra-wealthy.
If you want some context and encouragement in this area, please watch The Big Short on Netflix. It is a brilliant expose of the 2008 crash and who engineered it and why.
