  I see a distinction.  Cutting through hospital red tape by breaking
some hospital rules can only hurt yourself.  Evading paying your fair share
of taxes hurts everyone.  Either we all have to make up for the people 
who don't pay enough, or the deficit just gets bigger and interest rates
go up, etc. etc. etc.  
  Notice the 'fair share' phrase above.  It is hard to say what a fair share
of taxes is when the tax codes have so many exemptions.  Now if we had
tax reforms to a simple tax code where everyone just paid x%,  I believe
fewer people will cheat and we will all be happier knowing everyone pays
relatively the same percentage.  But that's another discussion.
