Gray money vs Dark money

There are two kinds of black money. 1. Wealth that is hidden from the tax authorities by people who work hard but find the taxation too steep. Let's call this Gray money. 2. Wealth gained illegally by means of coercion, distortion of laws, supply of illegal services, inflation of bills etc. Let's call this Dark money. While Gray money is accumulated by traders, dark money is hoarded by people who pose as traders but in reality are either crooks or politicians or the various kinds of political power brokers.

The question arises: Are both monies equally evil? Do both deserve the same penalty?  As a common man would have, Yes! However, the same common man cries against #taxation
