"1) Cheating on taxes is quite literally stealing from every other person in the country. That being said I think there is a lot of small scale cheating going, especially for small cash-driven businesses."

I disagree.

One monkey says to a group of other monkeys, "we all need to take one of the 5 bananas we individually have and place it into a central banana disbursement fund".

Then, another monkey from the group refuses to give up one of his bananas. How is this refusal equal to stealing?

The real question is why taxes need to be /forcefully/ collected in the first place.
