Serious question: how this can be legal?

If I have to explain myself to IRS why I bought 1TB drive instead of 500GB because in their opinion I did not have enough to backup, hence supposedly I attempted to defraud IRS on extra $6.00 of tax, why can they get away with hundreds of millions or even few billions?

Serious question: did that thing with the hard drive actually happen to you?
The reason the IRS doesn't care is because they get their tax money regardless. They just get it from the subsidiary instead of the people ot should have gone to.
You must've run over the taxman's dog or something.

Hollywood executives swerved away from the dog, having watched enough movies to know that's how villains get made.

I call BS.
