8 thoughts on “IRS to the rescue? Tax audits eyed for infrastructure cash

    1. How many more scare words can you fit in there, Darrell? These are taxes that ARE OWED. That corporations and the rich aren’t paying. How anyone can oppose going after billion dollar tax cheats is beyond me, but keep on drinking that Fox News koolaid!

    2. Is that what you think Joseph W. Don’t be so naive. Have you ever been through an IRS audit? Doubt it. You can be 100% compliant and they can make your life a living Hell. You think they come in for a couple days, review your taxes, and then go on their way after rendering a judgement? Just a minor inconvenience right?…Wrong. They can be there for months and even years. Oh and you think this is a program only going after the corporations and the rich.

      What will excite me more is if he uses these resources to start with our politicians first. Nobody hides income and assets more than our Democrat and Republican friends in DC. These people become multi-millionaires on a $174,000 salary. And why stop there, let’s take a deep dive IRS audit look at the net worth of our Presidents. Someone explain the math to me how Obama can now be worth $130 million?

  1. Those corrupt, greedy feds are coming after you low-life one-percenter’s to try to cover part of their Marxist agenda. I suggest they start with the family bagman, Hunter Biden. But of course they won’t.

  2. Wow, it appears that our government is finally going to crack down on this who have NOT been paying their fair share. If you can find ads on national TV for outfits that will reduce what you owe in back taxes, that tells me a number are not paying, otherwise they could not afford the ads. This is simply about fairness.
    The IRS has been gutted in recent years and yet this is one of our most important agencies. Cudos for finally recognizing the problem and going after the cheats.

  3. It’s a complete fantasy that more audits will come even remotely close to paying for our massive level of federal spending. The only way that would happen is a tax code that eliminates nearly all deductions and credits, has higher marginal rates, and adds a lot more people to the federal tax rolls, as opposed to the current system that lets half the country off completely.

    For all the crapping on the GOP for not being willing to contemplate higher rates, the Dems are not honest enough to admit that their dreams of a European-style social welfare state can only be paid for with a European-style tax burden that reaches far more Americans than is currently the case.

  4. What percent of Biden’s $1,000,000,000,000 is untaxed drug dealers? Very hard to audit, and harder to collect from! Besides, what would happen if they started the audits with the politicians and their big donors? Either group is fine with me, as long as they go after both political groups equally. The Obama administration showed an IRS that was too politically operated. Neither party wants to simplify the income tax.
