Good comparison! The best part is that it's not even true! Tax evasion is far from common, as no one wants to go to jail. It's tax… optimization? that's the problem.

In other words, the rich don't generally break the law to avoid paying taxes. Rather, they find _legal_ loopholes that work for them, and even create them through lobbying.

Which suggests that legal measures _would_ be likely to work!
