Ok, so that gives us two options:

1) make taxes impossible to avoid. Problem: tax code is written not by the few tax-evading small businesses, but by the many tax-evading large businesses, who won't be spending less on getting loophole-filled laws written. So this plan won't work.

2) force people to pay less taxes, such that they cost of evading is higher than the cost of paying them.
