The tax system feels rigged when you think about it—pay up or face jail time and asset seizure. Yet somehow the people committing fraud, embezzling funds, or running Ponzi schemes walk away unscathed. The disparity is glaring. Ordinary people face brutal penalties for non-compliance while bad actors in positions of power often escape serious consequences. This kind of inconsistent enforcement breeds distrust in institutions and raises legitimate questions about whether the system actually serves fairness or just extracts compliance from those who can't afford sophisticated legal defenses.
