  1. don't worship at that church, either. there is only one cure for tax evasion, and much else: democracy, and socialism. politicians could end tax evasion instantly in an age of electronic money and total surveillance. their rule must be ended.

  2. i get tired of listening to these people. none of them address the fundamental questions of motivation and power. governments are corrupt because they are run by politicians for politicians. the politicians may be responsive to generals, or to plutocrats, or both, but they control education and information to obviate any meaningful popular control. if you want government 'for the people,' it must be government 'by the people.' without democracy, sustained and peaceful society is impossible, since oligarchs of whatever nature will loot society and the planet for their personal pleasure. democracy, btw, is rule by the people, through referendum and initiative, in a society where holding secrets from the electorate is a crime. because public activity is public, criminal activity becomes extremely difficult and virtue will prevail, for lack of alternatives.
