Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted December 23, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 23, 2022 Need to hire the agents to crackdown on Oligarchs avoiding taxes. Unless people on here are in the top 1-2% - you’d be a real moron to object. The agency’s workforce of about 80,000 is the same size as it was in 1970. Its enforcement staff has fallen by more than 30% since 2010, and audits of millionaires have declined by more than 70%. Its budget has declined by nearly 20%, when accounting for inflation, during the past decade. That has led to a $7 trillion “tax gap” of revenue over a decade that is owed but goes uncollected, in many cases from superrich taxpayers such as Trump, who has boasted that he fights to pay as little tax as possible. But the resource shortfall is playing out against the backdrop of a partisan and ideological battle over the IRS that appears sure to continue to constrain its ability to match the capacity of an industry dedicated to tax minimization and avoidance. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/trump-audit-shows-depths-irs-130608652.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohica says that only applies to business accounts. I’m not familiar and don’t really care. The big fish are the oligarchs and average citizens should support the IRS and their efforts to collect from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name more oligarchs than the one you're clearly implying, TDS'er BTW - it's not the oligarch, or whatever billionaire anyone is pissed about. It's the tax code, and the fact those people have accountants who understand the tax laws, and file the taxes on the oligarch/billionaire's behalf.

Your dear leader is a fraud and I don’t consider him an oligarch but a con man. The IRS wants to better enforce the tax code - so why do you have a problem with that?
