You're forgetting the huge amounts stashed away by the banks and tax evaders like Vodafone, the Arcadia Group etc. - all perfectly legal, but morally dubious, some would say.
And of course, if you're going to send someone to jail for six months for stealing a £3 bottle of water - because of the moral decay - then you should also send someone to jail for stealing £2k from the taxpayer to buy a duck house. If the latter had been deemed illegal. It's not breaking the law, but it's certainly breaking the spirit of the law.
