> in the US, being poor is considered a character flaw

The (modern) meaning of this is hard to discern without knowing if "poor" means the same in the two contexts. Is it not possible someone in the US who is considered to be "poor" (by wealth or QoL) might not be in Togo?

> bureaucratic support to fight tax evasion

Do you mean actual (legal) tax evasion, or tax fairness?
