In theory, they will not be taking my money because I file an honest return, the focus of audits is people who have been cheating us all.

Sure some innocent people will get wrapped up in audits, but I’d bet the percent is not as high as we would expect.

They’re taking your money via taxes to fund the irs.

That said, it’s a drop in the bucket. This system is unhinged

The cost is a drop in the bucket, the end result is anything but. The people on HN play checkers, our politicians and elite bankers are playing chess.

Why do you need to double the auditing arm of an organization that already doesn't audit the ruling class?

Because, when you expand and increase the middle class tax bracket (i.e. those who actually fucking pay taxes), you want to make sure your pay pig class keeps paying.

I hope you boys are ready :)
