Federal Understaffing Spotlight: Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

https://therevolvingdoorproject.org/irs-understaffing/

The Trump administration and DOGE proposed cutting IRS staffing by nearly 20% by May 15th. Internal White House documents obtained by the Washington Post suggest the agency may cut its staff by 1 in 3.

Here are the responsibilities the agency has needed more staffing to properly fulfill (but Republican Congressmen refused to fund):

Collecting Unpaid Taxes: Every year, there is a “tax gap” that the IRS seeks to fill. The tax gap is the difference between the total taxes owed to the government and the amount actually paid on time. A 2021 Treasury report estimated that there is a $600 billion tax gap every year, likely only made worse by the huge decrease in enforcement staffers since 2010. (and nominally higher due to inflation as well)

Auditing Rich People and Corporations: In 2022, the auditor workforce at the IRS “reached its lowest level since World War II.” The agency lost 17,000 workers over the course of the 2010s. Predictably, declining staffing levels led to a general decrease in audits: “Since 2010, the IRS’s overall audit rate has dropped 58 percent, including 54 percent for the largest corporations and 71 percent for those making more than $1 million a year.” Audits that were still conducted were less intensive and rushed. With fewer trained specialists capable of analyzing complex tax returns, IRS understaffing means large corporations and wealthy individuals have a much easier time evading taxes.

True 2 unless the cheaters lose more because of Trumps policies than they would gain cheating on their taxes.

I've noticed Jack isn't stopping by my threads, posting very much. The reality of what is happening, how badly Trump is fucking up, is too much for him to take. All I expect from him now is short, one sentence responses. Public opinion is off the chart bad for Trump.

All Jack does now is whataboutism. His arguing about the current reality, facts, doesn't work. He calls videos such as this one click bait because he can't address the facts being revealed by the video host.

I don't know how much experience you have with Trumptards, but I have decades. I knew future Trump voters when they were babies. Knew their parents and grandparents, too. The families of Trumptards are generations of losers who deny reality. I learned that you should never expect consistent responsible behavior from a Trumptard, or their ancestors. They don't even understand the necessary rudiments for prospering in America, and certainly they don't practice them. Trump is appealing to them because his behavior (particularly the anger, the cheating, and the laziness) and ignorance match theirs. To condemn Trump would be the same as to condemn themselves, and they ain't gonna do that.

What? I take a day or two off of laughing at you and that's me conceding that Trump is a bad President?



Nah.

Your party is dead. They're never coming back.

I'm just really bored of you is all.

I was always surprised when I found out family and friends were bigoted. Although most of my family were not, many were. I’m not perfect, however what I care about most is how someone acts. Not what they look like.

Realizing this country cannot survive if everyone is at each other's throat tempers me. The south lost the war but still live in a cesspool of malcontent. Southerners always complained that others saw their accent as a sign of ignorance. Most people have accents, I do. That isn’t it. It’s the ignorance of thought that accompanied the accent that exposed their lack of class, their lack of intelligence and forethought. Fortunately, most people don't hate the way they do. That said, this does not apply to all southerners.

I think we should just wait and see what happens.

9 times out of 10 I'm right about things. You're due for a win eventually, Ted.

*gag me* I didn't realize I logged into Twitter on accident.

You're a piece of shit dude. Your virtue signalling ain't going to get you anywhere here, and Second wasn't interested in having a conversation with you anyhow.
