    Also, unless you are doing tax evasion why would one support budget cuts to the IRS?! I thought republicans cared about financial responsibility?

      With a smaller budget they can’t afford to go after people that can afford actual accountants and lawyers to delay constantly.

      They instead can really only go after low earners who can’t afford a lawyer at all and have to deal with the IRS directly by themselves, and will just take whatever deal is offered.

      It’s literally the reason why the IRS recently had their budget increased and so they’ve been going after the rich that everyone knows aren’t even paying the lower percentage they are supposed to.

      It is fiscally responsible for them to neuter the IRS. It means they can save more money! Personally, I mean. Not the government.
