Despite my screenname, I have never evaded taxes. But no one should be sentenced to prison for tax evasion. If convicted in a court of law, seizure of assets - enough to cover the amount of tax owed - should suffice.

The tax codes as they stand are among the worst developments in America. They reward “loophole-ery,” punish advancement, are ridiculously complicated, and rapacious in volume. They are well placed among bloated government, government spending, popular vote to elect senators, and a rampantly activist judiciary.
