Of course major cuts will mean less enforcement of proper tax payments by the most wealthy who are the ones most likely to be auditied. Thus we lower income taxpayers will be subsidizing the wealthy tax cheats. We can see how well this program has worked in Greece and Italy, among other places. Think again, please.
You set up a twin agency who’s job it is to re-write the tax code so that it’s fair and reasonable with no favours to anybody.
You can’t be serious? Do you suppose that increasing the IRS budget would be better for the lower income folks? I have news for you; the IRS is already harassing and shaking down middle class taxpayers. They also routinely go after any political opponent of Obamunism. They have stopped being a neutral revenue collection agency and have become a political enforcement tool for Obama. They need to be punished fittingly. A 3% cut is not what I consider punishment fitting their behavior. It will not even put a big dent in the lavish conventions or other blatant wasting of funds by that department. I think that cutting their budget and workforce in half would get their attention and help focus them on what they are supposed to be doing.
