It's like how police departments would stop ten times more crime if you replaced beat cops with accountants who investigated businesses for overtime violations and stuff like that. The fact that they don't do that reveals the true purpose of the organization.
Almost applied to FBI jobs as an accountant but never would have passed the drug screening
Wonder what the "run government like a business" folks have to say about this one
Probably something dumb like "Auditing your investors is bad for business, they should be the ones auditing you!"
So the IRS will only be auditing millionaires from now on, right?
:padme:
and are stealing more of it by using accounting bullshit to cheat on taxes, so there's not only more income to be taxed, but a larger proportion of that taxable income hidden to be uncovered by an audit than any poor schmuck could ever possibly seek to hide
it's real no brainer shit but woops we live in hell
it's not their fault! they have no way of knowing what someone's income is until they do they audit!
I was looking at the revenue dot trying to parse how that’s 12x as much and then I looked higher lol
But the metrics for not getting fired mean it’s better to go after poor people who don’t properly document their tips.
Friendly reminder that IRS Agents are still cops and ACAB still applies.
The majority of audits aimed at EITC recipients is for the same reason as the majority of arrests being aimed at petty crime.
