> - no private aircraft - what about rural doctors and farmers?

The day that a rural doctor or farmer is indicted for defrauding investors for hundreds of millions of dollars, that objection might make sense.

It isn't so out of the question for folks to cheat on their taxes and get caught for it. This happens at all levels of society. It doesn't have to be for much money, after all, just enough to help folks survive. With the US tax code as-is, it is actually pretty easy.

Not investors, but I don't see why they couldn't defraud people for large amount via scams.
