Tax evasion isn't corruption.

Then what the fuck do you class as corruption?

We class it as corruption because it is an example of a public representitive going against the public interests to selfishly benefit themself, thus creating a servere conflict of interests.

You'll have to coax their definition out sentence by sentence and piece it together.

A politician evading taxes is still voting for public interests, no? Like obviously tax evasion is a bad thing, but it's not even in the same ballpark as corruption. No country is crimeless. But European countries are a lot less corrupt than China.

Once again, What the hell do you define as corruption?
