(12,089 posts)They have gone after the poor and middle class for pennies. It's about time they went after the big bucks.
My grandfather never earned more than $30,000 a year. He only completed the 8th grade. Yet the IRS audited him every year for about 6 years. All the while ignoring the millions people like Trump's Nazi father weren't paying.
I got audited while in the Navy. They couldn't have found someone who wasn't serving their country to audit? Maybe like Trump.
Luckily I had an accountant who beat them back. They ended up owing me money.
The IRS knows what you make. They know how much money you got. They know all the ever changing, confusing rules that the filthy-rich get the GQP to pass.
So, why don't they just give us a bill on tax day instead of playing a game of gotcha when you inevitably make a mistake?
Other countries like England send bills. You fill out a form and the government figures out what you owe. I'm sure there's some kind of appeals process if the government gets it wrong. But at least no cat and mouse games.
The IRS is a mess.
