It's like demanding that people encrypt their communications with ROT13. That request is fundamentally broken. A system that does not work, and can impossibly work, cannot be part of morality. Hence, it cannot be immoral to dodge such request. It is simple. The specs are f*cked. So, there is no point in implementing them, because you can see upfront that the program will not work anyway.

It's not at all like that, unless you have found a way in which people encrypting their communications with ROT13 can keep the society running. Enjoy your excuse for tax avoidance :)
FYI, tax avoidance is different to tax evasion. I'm not sure why someone would need an 'excuse' for the former - it's the latter that's illegal.
