"Government light touch checks" are built in by design , rather like loop holes built into the tax system.
I would like to try a flat rate tax system, say 18% as a figure, everyone pays it, if you get caught evading or avoiding (two words that than mean the same thing you get hung, that would focus some minds. That man you mentioned, may have stolen a lot to some peoples thinking, but to be honest, to the big boys, who dine with the establishment swamp dwellers its is chicken feed. Winston Churchills ancestor, for instance the Duke of Marlborough, whom Churchill was so proud of, stole thousands of pounds from the chancellery and got to keep most of it!, that alone tells us what the swamp contains and always has, and by the way I am sure you know at that time they were hanging children for stealing food.
