For example, yes shame on the rich corporations but what about the poorer tax evaders, the people who don't pay into income tax or other government taxes in average incomes of around 50,000~? How much tax evasion is done by rich corporations and wealthy people and how much by middle class workers?


Interesting. A little like the answer to the question of "why not give middle income earners a tax break?"...because, in Australia, something like 80% of taxpayers make less than $50,000 a year...they're way to big a target for the government and source of revenue...why would you give the biggest proportion of your tax income base a tax cut??? :roll:
