You can't tax everyone so you shouldn't try to, you mean?

Easy reducio - You can't prevent some people using drugs, so repeal all drug
laws. Patently a daft idea. Same with tax avoidance. Just because you can't
get everyone doesn't mean you don't aim at getting everyone.

You'll never get a perfect market system, but a system without any markets
would be worse than an imperfect market system.
