Governm...My take on this is somewhat more cynical.<br /><br />Governments care about petty theft, muggings, etc., but don't particularly care about white collar crime that results in losses in the millions, or other fuckups that may result in losses of billions in banks etc. Similarly, they care about welfare fraud, but those people wealthy enough to try their hand at tax fraud are of somewhat less concern.<br /><br />The wealthy are powerful. If you squeeze them too tightly, they move elsewhere. The wealth of the wealthy is also often bound up in capital structures. The more you try to lay claim to it, the more you end up hurting the industry and economy of your own country.<br /><br />So the government plays a balancing act. It has harsh penalties for petty crimes and welfare fraud to keep the poor in their place. It's also pretty heavy on the middle classes, to keep tax income high, so tax fraud isn't welcomed here either. But the wealthy? There are all sorts of tax efficient structures for them, and they can get away with extraordinary damage to society at large, and still get bailed out by the government, because of the power they have.Barry Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559947643606684495[email protected]
