The big brother situation will get way better just as soon as the 87,000 new IRS agents are hired!
I'm surprised Florida does not have this. Separate from whether these taxes should exist--if the rules aren't enforced, it's not fair to the people trying to do the right thing (as the OP was).

After a couple of generations, you end up with only "stupid" people paying taxes. This made news several years ago during the Greek financial crisis
