A flaw in the nature of the universe perhaps.

The use of the word "however" in the above context seems as inappropriate to me as saying "The holocaust was bad, however [...]

The truth of the matter is that the Soviet Union was just about as evil as Nazi germany.

Interesting choice of words. I pay taxes for one reason only, I have to, there is a figurative gun pointed at my head; and if I really got serious about not paying my taxes I would soon find myself with a literal gun pointing at my head.
