The tax man is already in court seeking details over some accounts over $20,000 from 2016 to 2020. It does look like the taxman is coming.

This will really crimp the digital coing sector.

You can get away with murder, as long as you pay your taxes.

To be honest, if people thought they could get away with tax evasion on a non-private coin like BTC, they're really foolish.

Taxman has been a known factor since 2016. Certain people just chose to ignore that, and may end up paying, hard.

The taxman also hasn't really put in a halfassed effort yet.

And I wouldn't call tax evasion intelligent.

Buf if you declare earnings yeah, amazing how that dissolves issues.

True.

Just look at Al Capone. Notorious Racketeer. Well known to be involved in bootlegging, gambling and prostitution. Directly and indirectly involved in the murders of around 400 people and what sent him to prison?
Tax Evasion.

To be fair, the tax evasion was because the books would've convicted him had he listed his true income sources, but yeah.

That was what I meant. You generally cannot part governments from their money. Even though they are fools. This is that one exception of the whole fools and money thing.

There's only 2 things you can't avoid in life. Dying and paying taxes.

Right now, you can't avoid death. But we are a stubborn people. Also, you can get away without paying taxes. Just die first. Then technically, you didn't pay them.

Government can be either foolish or ruthlessly efficient depending on funding level.

The IRS is well funded.

You're paying taxes anyway, directly or indirectly. VAT, sales tax are the most common ones. And if you lived in Argentina, I could mention at least 15 other taxes you'd be indirectly paying.

The only places where you'd not pay taxes are probably a handful of islands where there's either no other human or society is a few millennia backwards.


Never mind, I skipped half your statement.

I am a huge supporter of abolishing income tax and having a federal sales tax. You want a wealth tax? Boom there you go. The more some dickhead buys, the more taxes they pay.

Yes, but you collect on plenty of untaxed income you would miss other wise. Plus, tourists help as well.

Moving even more taxes off the wealthy and onto the poor and middle class is the opposite of what we need. Without tax, money is literally worthless - what we need to do, is have a "flat tax" on income over a certain amount, with no "loopholes" to get out of paying at least 15%.

It's not about not having them. It's a percentages problem. We've been leading the 1st world in a bad way there for some time.

What could do all those income gaps do for people that don't pay taxes? People in the country illegally? Drug dealers? All the fun things.

Basically this. Some companies get huge tax breaks that basically result in them paying $0.00 in federal taxes. That needs to end, but because politics, easier said than done.
