There is a joke on the Internet that being a hostage in Russia, tax evasion in the United States, and drug trafficking in China are the three major causes of death in the world. Although the ridicule is strong, it is not groundless.

During the rescue process, the Russian anti-terrorist troops secretly poured chemical gas into the theater to anesthetize them, killing 39 terrorists. However, 129 hostages also died from inhaling an overdose of anesthetic gas.

You can owe money to anyone in the United States, but you cannot owe money to the IRS. Because once you are found guilty of tax evasion, in addition to paying a huge fine, you will also have to go to jail.

This is enough to show that tax evasion in the United States is more serious than gang involvement, so American citizens never dare to take a step beyond the bounds.
