I don’t hate the IRS. They don’t write the tax code, and it’s not their fault that they’re underfunded. That’s all on Congress.
This might upset a few people, though: Your Taxes Pay for Nothing
Just want to reiterate that the IRS get their marching orders from the party in charge which is why they targeted rich people under Biden: The IRS has recovered $1.3 billion from rich American tax dodgers since the fall of 2023 — relieving a painful burden from ‘ordinary citizens’
FWIW the US federal budget for 2024 is going to be about $6.8 trillion dollars. So that $1.3 billion is about 0.019% of the total budget. I’d call that a slap on the wrist for the billionaire class except that you can actually feel a slap on the wrist.
That’s entirely the wrong denominator for this comparison. IRS doesn’t write the budget nor do they write tax law, they just collect.
Fine, revenues are $4.9 trillion. My point is that $1.9 billion is literally a drop in the bucket - hardly an example of the IRS “going after rich people”.
Who the fuck is the rich chef lmfao?
Every chef I know looks like the dude on the left, but he hasn’t had adderall since work insurance pays shit so instead he subsists on alcohol and cocaine with the rush of order and chaos working the kitchen.
I think it’s Chef Boyardee
Respect to the Spaghettios.
The “rich parents” blocks are off screen.
Then you need to fund the IRS enough to go after these rich fucks
Thats the thing though, those rich fucks usually run the IRS or practically own the people who do
I mean when your rich what don’t you run… To destroy from within

All of your local business people either are or have just not paid taxes on income. If it’s a cash business or they accept cash, there’s a high likelihood that they just put that in their pocket.

Right panel could do better.
Tax evasion, loopholes, offshore accounts, tax breaks, are all terms that belong as “steps.” Also, stepping on the person holding the “work” steps up should be part of it. Successful people almost all earn money on other’s work at some level. That’s how wealth and employment work.
oddly enough,long as i keep myself out of jail and not homeless i am successful. this requires work. it is on you to decide to keep at it or not. just saying that your blanket doesnt keep me warm
Other countries hate the IRS & FCC too. It is quite difficult to open a foreign bank or crypto exchange account… if not just outright blocked all Americans from even trying.
It kinda feels like this sometimes.
My single biggest expense each month is tax.
Last time I went to Costco, my the second most expensive thing on the receipt was tax.

That just means you bought a whole bunch of cheap things.
If other peoples’ tax evasion is your big concern then you hate the wrong people.
Idk how thats what you got from this post. I don’t believe billionaires paying their taxes will solve all of our problems of thats what you are getting at
