In reply to the discussion: Trump's Brazen Tax Cheating Revealed [View all]DENVERPOPS
(13,003 posts)One has to ask...............where the FUCK has the IRS been all these years??????????? Seriously! Let alone looking into all the other TENS OF THOUSANDS OF UBER RICH TAX RETURNS........
I am so so tired of watching this country's WHITE PRIVILEGED, and WEALTH PRIVILEGED, getting away with everything, and making off with everything.........
It is an absolute Travesty that Trump & Spawn haven't been nailed for COUNTLESS counts of tax evasion and the massive amounts of outright flagrant criminal fraud. Same with thousands of other Corporate executives, and the Corporations they work for.
This has been planned and executed for so long by the Republicans fucking with the IRS. Year after Year of IRS employee cut backs to where the IRS figures it is easier to go after the low hanging fruit. The quite literally don't have the high level expertise of CPA's and TAX attorneys needed to wade into the big boys and girls tax returns.
I remember when HW was in office. It was reported that he had a meeting with the head of the IRS. Seriously. AND HW told the head of the IRS he was giving him enough money to hire 20,000 additional auditors. The head of the IRS said GREAT! Then HW told him that they were to target the 15K to 25K earners, because THAT was where the fraud is taking place. The head of the IRS stared at HW and said #1 if it was that group, all the audit might turn up is maybe a couple of hundred at best. #2 most of those people are hourly wage earners and get a 1040? and how are they gonna get away with any fraud with that???? #3 he said that their research had well documented and proven, for decades, that the serious and big money fraud is committed in the 200+ thousand dollar crowd and that that fraud was some major dollars. He told HW that the higher the yearly earnings, the more fraud they encountered, and the amount of the fraud was much greater in each case, which resulted in MAJOR dollars of Tax Evasion. The report said that HW said, if you target the 15-25K taxpayers, I will give you the money, otherwise forget being able to get any new auditors. Obviously, the guy running the IRS didn't get any new auditors. The IRS is currently operating with only 60% of staffing minimums, and is one to three years behind examining all tax returns...........
Some famous French guy, back when our Democracy evolved in the 1700's stated:
"Democracy will work, until some groups and politicians realize that they can vote themselves money"
And here we are, with that situation currently being, the law of the land.................
And every year since Reagan was corruptly and criminally, and using Treason "installed", I have watched it getting progressively worse..........The Fucking Over of the entire middle and lower class, at this point in time, is quite literally un-fathomable.....
They weren't caught corruptly installing Reagan, and HW, and W. and we, in the lower and middle classes have paid the price for the rich to get richer, exponentially....................
