Difference is, government does not make money like actual businesses do.
It is a fatal flaw to think they are the same thing.
Just as long as they eviscerate the tax laws at the same time...
If the last several decades have shown us anything, the IRS should be eliminated. It is the singlemost dangerous agency in the government. It can take everything you own and put you in prison.
JAIL FOR LERNER..!!
Clearly the guy hasn’t been on the job, looked at the data, and is simply speaking from what he knows. Some businesses HAVE cut too far, down to the bone, and it has been counterproductive. I doubt the IRS is like that but give the guy a break until he’s confirmed and let’s see what happens then. I could see additional enforcement people along with a reduction in other areas resulting from simplification of the tax code.
Customer service? You got to be kidding us.Abolish the whole scheme and replace with the fair tax.
Flat tax requires less bodies than IRS employees now.
This plan smells bad. Goobermint employees aint Cheap to Keep.
Wrong answer. We need fewer employees in government — especially the IRS which is larger than many huge companies. Simplify the tax code and that will certainly help.
Wrong answer.
Wrong plan.
Wrong guy.
No.
Not crazy about this guy. But he will have to do Trump’s bidding, his opinions don’t count for much.
This is a good thing.
Slash the IRS’s budget.
Fake news. The department is to be abolished in year #2.
Regular IRS + swamp cleaners = bigger IRS.
I think this headline may be a matter of misreading what Mnuchin wants. He wants to put the bean counters where it actually counts. The Barack Obama administration used the IRS as an Obamacare babysitter. This isn’t going to continue.
Whatever he means, it’s still a completely idiotic statement to make.
Regarding federal taxes, the only thing that taxpayers and federal leaders need to know about the fed’s constitutionally limited powers, and associated limited power to appropriate taxes is the following.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Expand? Uh, no thank you
PLEASE President TRUMP listen to this,
Steven Mnuchin works for the same people as Obama, Clinton and Merkel....
Appointing him to any position will come back and biter you in the butt.
More fake news designed to shake people’s faith in what Trump is going to do...
