Because dead folks don't pay taxes.

Terminally ill people generally aren't paying taxes either. You have to make money somehow to owe taxes.
There are so many people that really have no idea how taxes work.
So which one is it, the government assisting in deaths too often or not enough, it can't be both at the same time.
Alas, actually, it can be.

You can make both errors with false positives and false negatives at the same time.
