Sorry, had to. But seriously, a lot of the messaging on this has been a case study in the capitalist control of our politics and media. Especially on the right, Everyman and his retiree mom have been supplanted with visions of an armed, "jackbooted" IRS army coming for them. I guess the fear is that they'll audit Mr. Everyman, who hasn't actually done a damn thing wrong, and mom will continue drawing social security, at least until Rick Scott or Ron Johnson takes it away. Absolutely surreal watching Capital ride the coattails of the FBI federal hate train to demonize proper tax enforcement and getting so many rubes onboard. Same shit with socializing healthcare. Or, y'know, pretty much any and everything. Oligarchy; not just a Russian thing.This is the cafeteria at the IRS offices in Austin.
Yes, the cafeteria.
Over 96% of IRS workers eat paperwork for lunch.
It is incredibly sad to me that I am able to procure a team, technology, and funding for modern data pipeline and analytics work that seems to far surpass that of the IRS. Different scale, same point. Give them 100 billion.
