I sometimes wonder if we could get really aggressive with civil forfeiture laws to go after people who are illegally cheating on their taxes. Just start seizing any assets you can tie to the cheating.
Probably impossible to prove and enforce, but seems like it'd be a much bigger deterrent than fines of paying back taxes.
