    Not sure what you’re getting at, but since you are legally required to pay taxes, and the 5th amendment protects you from self-incrimination, your tax statements are inadmissible in court.

      The Revenue Service would much rather you pay your taxes, even if it was from an illegal activity, rather than just avoid paying them at all, to avoid the risk of prosecution.

      I was laughing at my own statement:

      … prosecute people who make their living by breaking the law.
