I think the problem is- what are you taxing? If you are taxing income that is
easy for me because I get a paycheck. But what about someone that owns
companies and doesn't receive a paycheck? They have so many ways to get money
that it is difficult to track them all. I remember reading the book by Lee
Iacocca about when he was at Ford. Henry Ford would boast to him that he
didn't pay any income taxes. Years ago I knew a man that owned his own
company. His car was owned by the company, the artwork hanging on his walls at
home, all of his food and travel was paid by the company. He did take money
out of the company several different ways and probably got taxed on those, but
his reported income was only a fraction of his true income.
