>Posters will now stumble over each other to assure you that tax evasion was so widespread

Arranging your income to reduce the tax paid in accordance with the law isn't tax evasion.

I’m pretty sure the rationale given by current politicians for at-present proposals is that they are arranging their income to avoid taxes, and therefore they aren’t paying their “fair” share.

It’s nauseating but evasion (a legal term) and avoidance are taken as the same morally compromised position now.

Tax evasion is illegal and can get you thrown in jail. Tax avoidance is legal. And much everyone tries to avoid as much taxes as possible.
