There is no such thing as a collective. There are only individuals.

Government has power to jail you for criminal offense once you are convicted
Laws deem tax evasion to be a criminal offense
Private citizens do not have the right to jail you for debts

I've honestly thought that was total bullshit.
>you can get sent to jail for theft if you borrow something from someone and then refuse to return it
>you can't get sent to jail for skipping out on a loan

The IRS won't send you to prison if you skip taxes because you can't afford to pay them, but they will if they have proof you did have the money but made deliberate efforts covering it up from them.

This. What Wesley Snipes did was pretty damn egregious. It doesn't happen to people that didn't calculate their 1099 correctly and now owe.
