Want to hear a wild stat?

Nearly a thousand $1 million+ earners didn't file tax returns for at least one year from 2017 to 2020. Just didn’t bother.

And the GOP is trying to help them by slashing IRS funding. When the IRS is defunded, rich tax cheats make out like bandits.

@rbreich Naively, I'd think the right answer is to make it cheaper and more effective to do table stakes things like "make sure people file".

Perhaps if the tax code were simpler this would be possible.

But even if not – why is that the expensive thing that IRS doesn't do, first, if it is short on funds?
