Kinda funny how urgent we need an army of new tax agents when we just passed an omnibus bill to the tune of 1.7 trillion dollars, of which was 4000 pages long, has all kinds of stupid pet project earmarks, and was passed a little before midnight a few days before Chrismas. Looks like the outflow doesn't match the income so we need more money to pay for all the wonderful bullshit that was forced down our throats.

They delay the rules because it will disrupt peoples lives and makes people upset, but they want that sweet, sweet money and they will get it eventually. It's an addiction, another sip off the bottle, and after they blow through that like it was a wet paper bag they will look for more money to incinerate. Hey, just put it on the credit card, it'll be someone else's problem.

Why not instead of poor-middle class, we ask them audit more rich people, oh wait they were underfunded by republicans so they had to target poor-middle class.

The powers that be would never allow it, but a national sales tax would be the fairest method of taxation. Republican/democrat, rich/poor, race a/race b, etc. Nobody should be able to weasel out of it, and the taxes shouldn't take more than they absolutely need to. I don't think we need 80,000 more tax agents. That's like more of the pork barrel crap we the United States citizens are on the hook for.
