Most of that stuff isn't even related to this. Corporations and rich people don't avoid taxes by lying to banks, they avoid taxes by hiring tax lawyers or lobbying the government. The best way to put the drug cartels out of business is to let Pfizer and Merck beat them on quality and undercut them on price and then use the tax money to fund rehab and education programs. The actual crimes this is supposed to prevent aren't all that common, and to the extent that they aren't prosecuted it's largely because the perpetrators have political power -- or are themselves nation states -- not because we don't have enough prosecutors to do it. Especially if we would actually put the drug cartels out of business in the aforementioned way. We certainly don't need more people in prisons -- largest prison population in the world, how's it working? |
