Are you suggesting that the US government suspend income tax while they hire enough people in the IRS to go through every individual's tax return?

No, I'm suggesting they don't add any more compliance rules with new punishments unless they staff up.
Minimal enforcement can be used to make everyone a criminal. You then selectively apply the law against people you don’t like.

Taxation (I would hope) is not minimally enforced.
