The IRS has been underfunded for decades. It is really bad now where getting taxpayer assistance is near impossible.
The tax laws are designed to raise revenue. As the mantra against gun control says, “enforce the laws we have”.

Well, since you’re all about enforcing the tax laws, how about they start with fraud in the Earned Income Tax Credit program. That should keep them busy.

EITC claims for LOW INCOME families and individuals are not a source of cheating to the scale of corporate cheats.
Your disdain for those who are struggling is noted.

All to be born on the backs of rate payers snd taxpayers through increased energy and cost of living. Inflation Reduction my ass. It should be named Democrat Lies Again Inflation and Harrassment Act or Democrat BOHICA Act. It’s always unsettling to have a Democrat behind you while feeling 2 hands on your shoulders, you know what’s coming.

Unlike the 2017 Tax “Reform” Act? Funny how bad bills passed by the GOP get praised, but similarly, potentially bad bills, passed by Democrats get taken to the cleaners.
Boring hypocritical rhetoric.

If you want to call comparison of bad bills whataboutism, that is your choice.
It is more about the hypocritical attitudes of anyone on the right. Mostly you and Don.

Agreed. Under budgeted. Gestapo tactics will require more money. It’s what they do best!

If you legally file your tax returns, what do you have to worry about? Are you admitting to being a tax cheat and afraid of enforcement officials knocking on your door?
I’m a little offended at the idea of using “gestapo” phrasing anywhere outside of the actual Gestapo. Or in your world, GAZPACHO. Just ask MTG.
