[quote=Anonymous]I hold a wide range of beliefs. I believe the government should be extended to provide a greater social safety net, affordable college and universal healthcare without middle men driving up costs. I also believe we should invest in a border wall at the southern border (astronomical costs, BTW, which is why it's never been done), because it's much easier to treat migrants *humanely* when we can control the flow. We don't need the bad optics of throwing poor people out in shackles if we haven't let them in, in the first place.

And those things cost a shitload of money. We need higher taxes, especially at the higher income brackets (sorry, rich people of DCUM). We need to close corporate tax loopholes.

And most of all: we need to refund the IRS and hire more agents and lawyers to fight tax fraud cases. Every time the IRS was given a little bit more money by Congress, it clawed back much more money than it was given, in unpaid taxes!!! It's the single easiest guaranteed source of untapped income we have - people who don't pay their fair share. I know NO ONE wants to do this, because every individual, regardless of political creed, feels a little better thinking the IRS isn't coming after their potential shenanigans. But ultimately, it's bad for the country and we're missing out on a large pot of money that's right under our nose.
