Would you declare your earnings?

In a world of online scams i am increasingly intrigued by how people are reluctant to tell me the facts and figures. It leaves new people stranded, are they earning a decent rate or not? Many people claim to make a 'decent living' online but don't disclose what 'decent' is or where the money comes from. I know they don't want us to steal their income, but come-on! Paranoia from the tax man is another thing, but unless you earn really huge amounts AND tell the taxman your screen name, i don't see the problem. today i spent about 20 minutes updating my spreadsheet and clicking through the sites, no real work but a few ads and earnt $0.25, this week i've earnt a little over $3 so far. The most i've made one week is around $40, i still don't know if that's good or bad.
