This should come as no surprise to anybody, here. But a nice article for you guys to store in your "evidence" lockers.

The results were actually worse, the article said that most of the people who were making the 1 mill did not leave but canged their behavior so they could declare less than the 1 million.  So not only was the Treasury worse off, the populace did not have output that it did previuosly and was therefore worse off after the change.
