Yep. Great comment.

Tax enforcement has costs. Some taxes cost more than others to institution, and tax enforcement makes zero sense for poor people where the cost of enforcement exceeds the revenue.

Which is precisely why the IRS has been so gutted, because a broke IRS has no money to audit rich people who are doing massive, illegal, and blatant tax evasion systematically.

And the media focuses on what people buy with food stamps as if they should only be able to buy beans with them.
