You cannot escape the tax person.
They will come to you, either in suits, or in military uniforms. And they will collect what you legally owe to them.
(If the civillian government falls, the military will just take over and rule under martial law)
They won't. This whole thing is undermining the IRS. They don't have the manpower they won't have the budget. Tax cuts for the rich also equals cuts to go after them. It's a free for all now
They can't go over the people with a 300 page tax return that uses past paper losses to cover any actual income. They already automated enforcement of w2 based income.
They don't have the manpower to go after everyone, but you never need to.
You make an example out of 1.000 people nation wide, and most people wouldn't dare to not pay.
