The actual purpose of the Purge if to make tax fraud legal for 24 hours so the rich can somehow pay even less taxes.
They don't need a purge night to commit tax fraud, the do it every day, for vast, vast sums of wealth.
If they had a purge night in real life, they would quickly amend it to just "murder" night. Lest the poors get an idea that they too could exploit the system.
Then they would amend it again because they don't want to get murdered. So it will be "Murdering approved people and groups night" but that also has a chance of backfiring if someone wealthy or the people protecting them could be at risk, so they will just change it to "The police get to murder you night" and then they will shrug and remove the nightly restriction, and then there you go... our current system.
They don't have to pay taxes ever again if the angry mob of poor people get to them.
Unnecessary. They're already doing tax fraud.
