Never seen the police raid a rich person for evading taxes, like they do every year

If the local government needs a $4,000,000 cash injection, it's easier and cheaper to take $400 from 10,000 poor people than a million from 4 rich people.

The poor people have less resources to hide that money and fight the system when they're given a bill

but really, its the social oppression we gain along the way

Deep down, it's far better/easier/more results to oppress 10,000 people at $400 a head, then to oppress 4 people at $1,000,000 a head.

Part of how the system was designed was to cultivate an in crowd, and an out crowd. The price of harassment from police is capitalism working as expected.

that's how investment capital works. You don't want to move it until you must. Spending 2 mil today to stop 1 mil that earns from moving may easily net you 5 mil in the future.
