FBI raids home of Epstein-linked Clinton donor ? ?
Can you fill me in on why the IRS needs $750K in small arms ammo? I mean, do they really ne 87k new auditors?You mean the plan to hire lots of IRS employees over the next 10 years?
All the while, the in your face crimes of 46 and his family go untouched... comedy at bestFBI raids home of Epstein-linked Clinton donor ? ?
Are you serious with this post?The IRS needs to be expanded. IRS Auditors pay for their existence many times over. The people that they look at aren't like you and me. People like you and me get a letter that says your tax return has been adjusted by $500 and you pay it...and grumble about it. You recognize a mistake made by somebody....SOMEBODY ELSE
I used to work in the federal building, as a guard. A lawyer would come in...dressed like he is ready for court/prom/wedding/black-tie affair. His client comes in, dressed the same, but not so much. They meet w/an auditor. I look out the window and see a Maserati SUV parked at the meter (I later watch and see that the lawyer gets in it). I also see a Porsche ( I later watch and see that the client gets in it). They come back another 2 or 3 times. The lawyer gets paid $5K-$10K (just guessing, but that Maserati got paid for somehow). This gentleman...was willfully defrauding the gubment. Then his lawyer gets him a break....after the lawyer gets his $10K, he probably still gets away w/$50K (because the Auditor is over worked and has to clean out his cases to get his boss off his a@@). BTW...that $125K check (below) is cheap as he has done it for years.
Afterwards....The Auditor says, OK, we can settle this for $125K...the client then writes a check ON THE SPOT. .."Chump-Change." They work several of these cases a year...the best lawyer that money can buy can't get them off for under $100K. That is $100K of money that the gubment could pay down the debt with, or blow on Obama Phones or some other BS.
$150K WORTH OF FRAUD, or twice that.
The IRS has Criminal Investigators that put people in prison for criminal stuff (like Al Capone). Do you think that they have guns? They are chasing people with guns...you can't arrest somebody w/a gun and not have a gun. They need to qualify with their guns 4x a year (Thank a lawyer). That amount of ammo comes out to about 500 rds per year for the average guy/gal (100 rds per training session) and it does not take in to the count of training a newbie how to shoot...several thousand rounds each.
BTW, Barney Fife only qualified once a year.
BTW, Auditors and "normal" IRS people do not have guns.
All of that is reasonable. They need more Auditors and they need ammo.
We also need more CBP/ICE guys....the number of containers/shipments that could be seized because of fraud, because there is nobody to inspect them is staggering. 1,000 containers on a ship....a percentage of them are high-tech gadgets. But, they are labeled as nails, or some other low-tech gadget. You have a pretty significant difference in tariff there...like maybe $10K, in one container. The ship probably/possibly has several more of the same type of fraud. BTW, our country is supposed to run on tariffs, not on income tax.
I pay my taxes...shouldn't everybody pay their FAIR amount of taxes and not screw the gubment.
There are many rebbutles that can be made throughout this just for sake of good conversation, but I will only focus on your last line. The Gov ain't getting screwed by anyone, but we sure the eff are. Piss on Ukraine and the "war" they're using to launder the $440B back to DC and crooked politicians all the while passing a bill through the house to raise our income taxes yet again. F the IRS and F paying more in tax. We are taxed to death and it needs to STOP.The IRS needs to be expanded. IRS Auditors pay for their existence many times over.

IRS agents that do criminal work get to carry guns and they need overpriced ammo would be my guess.Can you fill me in on why the IRS needs $750K in small arms ammo? I mean, do they really ne 87k new auditors?

The IRS currently employs more than 78,000 people,which is less employees than they had through the 1990s, which averaged over 100,000 employees. The plan I read says over 10 years they will hire 87,000 employees, they will not all be auditors. The hiring will include support staff, IT people, and all other non-auditor positions. I think the IRS currently has under 10,000 auditors.
The goal is 87,000 new employees over 10 years. I bet they will be lucky to find 5,000 people a year. Now consider how many people quit, get fired, or retire from the IRS each year and the amount of actual new employees is smaller.
They will never simplify the tax code. If they did that then even the people in charge would actually have to pay the full amount of taxes.Are you serious with this post?
Do you seriously think the best way to collect tax money is to spend a large fortune for more auditors??
Here's a novel idea. Simplify the tax code. Remove all of the deductions, credits, deferrals and loopholes. Just make the tax a percentage of a person's income with a linear increase in tax rate as the income increases. That's it. They currently collect all of the income/interest data directly from the source via computers. All they need to do is track down unreported sources of income, which is far easier to do than verifying all of the current loopholes aren't being abused.
Simplify the tax code, don't build an army of tax collectors.
When the IRS is larger than the military, will the public finally wake up and realize that the gov't considers us the real enemy?
Pretty much sums it up, but people will still believe the IRS is hiring 87,000 new auditors right now and they are coming for everyone. Just curious why people would think the IRS could hire that many people and other large corporations and large employers can not even find 100 good people to hire.
it's only funny because it's true :lol:They will never simplify the tax code. If they did that then even the people in charge would actually have to pay the full amount of taxes.
I'm wondering when tax evasion became such a violent act that they decided they needed to be armed. Like I said they should be utilizing actual LEO's, not taking it upon themselves to serve the warrant. BTW, anyone that argues we should be paying or could pay more to "help" others, please feel free to cover my $50K a year, Thanks :cheers:IRS agents that do criminal work get to carry guns and they need overpriced ammo would be my guess.
