Also, a lot of things are defined as illegal just because it suits the government, but that does not mean they are immoral. For example, tax evasion in tax heavy regimes is an act of self-defense but they will
try very hard to convince the population that it is bad because it is illegal.

It's also depriving the body politic of money that should be used to
provide for the common good, which is why it's bad.

Well, providing that they are actually using it to "provide for the common good" and not to line the pockets of their supporters... or their own. :(
