If they were putting their resources into actually stopping the tax avoidance, but instead they are put into going after those who scam the people trying to avoid taxes.
- gambiting 5y agoIt's not a zero sum game. Not everyone who is an FBI agent can be a lawyer or a lawmaker.
- Tostino 5y agoI've had a number of things stolen over the years, but somehow there isn't a whole lot of resources put into it. Strange how that works. Why should these people get preferential treatment with an entire department dedicated to tracking those who may try and defraud them when running their tax avoidance scheme?
- gambiting 5y agoNo they shouldn't, but again, this isn't a zero sum game - FBI is a federal agency, while your local law enforcement is a state or even just a city specific department. If we took all money away from FBI or closed their art fraud department, it would have made zero difference to your local law enforcement. But yes I agree it's not fair.
- pydry 5y agoYour local law enforcement is as likely to pull you over and confiscate any cash you've got in the car on the basis that it may have committed a crime. Feels a bit like it is a zero sum game to me.
