And yet somehow The Big Guy...and his boy...were overlooked.

[Sacajaweau]

And it only cost them 45 million to do it.

[TexasFreeper2009]

but not a penny of the $5 million+ Hunter Biden owes!

[NativeSon]

For real but you don’t even need to go that far- just target ANY democrat in office or any loud mouthed racist, poverty-pimp.

[Fido969]

The IRS has about 80,000 full-time equivalent employees. This is a drop in the bucket.

[Sacajaweau]

Who are they kidding....That $600 gets you a 1099K law wasn’t created for nothing.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

$38,000,000 / 85,000 new armed IRS agents = $447 / new armed IRS agent

[Paladin2]

Did the IRS use their gunz?

[EEGator]

That offsets the funds we sent to Ukraine, right?…

[Fai Mao]

And if it took 71,000 new agents to find that the government lost money

[occamrzr06]

How about Al Sharpton? Did you get anything from that grifter?

[Bernard]

So how much of that 38 Mil came from drug dealers who did not report their income, and evaded paying taxes? If it's good enough to convict Al Capone, it's good enough to convict El Druggo.

Stop discriminating against Italians, America.

[escapefromboston]

Wow . Now the government can afford to buy another missile to give to the Ukraine

$38 million in delinquent taxes from more than 175 high-income taxpayers

I'm all for it. But this isn't free. This cost a lot of money. And $38M is negligible in the scheme of the whole feral gubmint spending and certainly won't finance WWIII. And $38M /175 is $217K per high income tax payer. Let us assume high income means $10M per year [which is hardly the high income of say a succesful hedge fund manager] or more and this is the result of a tax audit of say 7yrs of income taxes - that's 3% of income or maybe %10 of total taxes owed.

While they may be slimeballs, this looks more like efforts to use tax loopholes to minimize taxes. Doesn't sound like tax evasion to me especially when no one, not even the IRS, understand exactly what the tax code says.

And I ain't defending slime balls - but a lot of them are at the IRS and other branches of government.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

--- "IRS leaders said they collected $38 million in delinquent taxes from more than 175 high-income taxpayers in the past few months."

One reads the Ass-ociated Press article more closely, to learn that most of the prose is about the IRS wanting to keep its own funding up,

One also notices that NONE of the "175 high income taxpayers" are mentioned. How's that for investigative reporting?

[Old Yeller]

Good. They finally got Al Sharpton. How long is his prison sentence, and how much did he have to pay up. Wait,,,,what?

[DAC21]

Federal employees? Seems a few years back there was a report on the large amount of Fed DC workers who owed tax. Yeah right, Biden going after those that voted for him. No chance.

[P.O.E.]

Only 100 Trillion to go.

[mewzilla]

The IRS does it in the open.

Home equity theft states do it on the sly.

[CodeToad]

A 7 second gain in government spending.
