You see, the reason wealthy people get to evade taxes, while the IRS selectively enforces laws against poor people, is because they're just too gosh-darn underfunded!
If only they just had some more moneys, they would get right to work on on making rich people pay taxes, and creating an egalitarian society that the working class could thrive under! Because there is so much evidence that the US government is invested in doing that.
Your thoughts?
Realistically any irs conversation has to start with them being responsible for individuals tax returns. Fuck all this wild easy tax 24 quick turbo bullshit. Make the irs do an actual service for people, then figure out how much money they need to do it.
If we give them money for any other reason it has to be explicitly weaponized against the wealthy.
This is a great point I hardly ever see anyone make. A lot of the waste in the tax system comes from people either intentionally or naïvely making errors on their returns, and the IRS having to unravel it and hunt them down for correct payment.
If they did it themselves and just gave everyone a number of dollars they had to send in, it would probably save money and reduce man-hours.
