    Then why not check on it occasionally and put a hefty fine on it when they fake the documents? If you cannot make a new and important law because rich people will try to bypass it than the state is useless.

      Agreed.

      People forging documents to evade taxes? That’s fraud. Put them in jail or if they’re a foreign national; take their property until they set foot in the country; then put them in jail.

      You’d have to have someone go door-to-door at random intervals for an absolute check, I think, but that isn’t a bad thing provided that the people doing it are paid a reasonable wage.
