I don't know why you're putting the 'Marxist hive mind' in charge, maybe some academics across the political spectrum instead?
I think maybe the point is to shame those using aggressive tax strategies. You can always exploit the law as written, if you put enough money behind the endeavor. It's impossible to write a law that is bullet proof.
There’s a deep strain of inculcated Marxism on the political left and it is very prevalent here. They don’t even know they have it.
If someone thinks that a tax payer who hasn’t even been accused of tax fraud should be punished, and that “the full amount” is one penny more than the tax code dictates, they’re certainly infected. Someone who wasn’t would instead simply advocate for changing the tax code.
