Wrong again? Enforcement by the IRS is extremely cheap when you have a record of the income from centralized computer system. However, with distrubuted sales - there is a HUGE incentive to cheat, both by buyers and sellers. Enforcement is extremely expensive on that sales stuff - far more than the IRS - and of course the enforcement does exactly waht hte anti-gov people hate - intrude more and more into the daily aspects of your life. So, the anti-gov people are asking the IRS to get out of their lives on a once-a-year basis, and instead sit there with enforcement officers seeing your life 3 times or more a day!
