> You 100% should be able to go to prison from tax evasion.

I said can't, not shouldn't.

In any case I'd still say it's arguable if the punishment matches the crime, I'm not saying I'm against it but I don't fully buy it either.

In Italy we have two law codes: criminal and civil. You can't go to prison for civil offenses like tax evasion in our system.

you can… it’s just not really clear that anyone does. that said, i think if you polled the average joe on the street, they would overwhelmingly say that you can, which is probably a net gain for society.
