They get their compliance through fear. But in reality, who cares if you get audited? The chances are low, even with 80 billion more dollars to shake people down. They are not known for being efficient with money (lol).

So they find something and you pay some fines. Been there done that. With real estate you have options, and like a small business, you have more control than an income tax. The fear and propaganda need to be unwound. "Your duty", and "responsibility", "you owe", on the virtue side. "evasion", "fraud", "cheat" etc on bad side. It's all propaganda!
