The average joe would be in jail or face a heavy fine if they are caught doing illegal activities like tax evasion or stealing. Corporations on the other hand perform illegal activities like tax evasion, fraud, wage theft or price fixing on a MUCH larger scale, MUCH higher impact to the society, and higher frequency, yet they almost always get away with barely a slap on the wrist (i.e. a laughably small fine which is less than pocket change, and zero consequences for the c-suite). Is it because it’s easier to prosecute individual average joe’s as opposed to multiple billionaires who probably has connections with the justice system and government?

It’s easier to prosecute individuals than companies who have a team of accountants working to do all the loopholes they can. I can assure you the majority of people who make money in cash or stealing from the government as well. I don’t know anyone who reports all their cash tips to the IRS. Similary all the people who have a small business or who do farming can abuse all the loopholes as well that you would say they’re doing illegal activities too.
