Se meno dell'1% viene controllato come fa l'autore a sapere che sono in pochi ad evadere?

Quell' 1% è estratto in maniera casuale e conta come campione statistico? Qualcuno mi spiega?

In media pagano meno del 19% di tasse, che senso avrebbe evadere, quando rischi di essere sputtanato dalla comunita' (cosa molto influente).

Example of a tax computation

Income tax for year 2017:
Single taxpayer making $40,000 gross income, no children, under 65 and not blind, taking standard deduction;

$40,000 gross income – $6,350 standard deduction – $4,050 personal exemption = $29,600 taxable income
- amount in the first income bracket = $9,325; taxation of the amount in the first income bracket = $9,325 × 10% = $932.50
- amount in the second income bracket = $29,600 – $9,325 = $20,275.00; taxation of the amount in the second income bracket = $20,275.00 × 15% = $3,041.25
Total income tax is $932.50 + $3,041.25 = $3,973.75 (~9.93% effective tax)

Note, however, that taxpayers with taxable income of less than $100,000 must use IRS provided tax tables. Under that table for 2016, the income tax in the above example would be $3,980.00.^[26]
In addition to income tax, a wage earner would also have to pay Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax (FICA) (and an equal amount of FICA tax must be paid by the employer):

$40,000 (adjusted gross income)
- $40,000 × 6.2%^[27] = $2,480 (Social Security portion)
- $40,000 × 1.45% = $580 (Medicare portion)
Total FICA tax paid by employee = $3,060 (7.65% of income)
Total federal tax of individual = $3,973.75 + $3,060.00 = $7,033.75 (~17.58% of income)

Total federal tax including employer's contribution:

Total FICA tax contributed by employer = $3,060 (7.65% of income)
Total federal tax of individual including employer's contribution = $3,973.75 + $3,060.00 + $3,060.00 = $10,093.75 (~25.23% of income)
