Unless they just redefined inflation. I'll believe it when the prices stop jumping.
Also, given that the government is ultimately responsible here. And we pay taxes to the government. You'd think they might cut us some slack on that. Having fucked up and all.
- anotherman554 4y agoTaxes were lowered in 2017 when inflation was at 2%.
- desireco42 4y agoThat is not happening unfortunately, ever. They are hiring more people in IRS to shake down working people.
- ericd 4y agoNah, the IRS is in complete shambles, as anyone who’s had to deal with them over the last couple years can confirm. It seems pretty likely that they’re just trying to unshamble it.
- _-david-_ 4y agoAdding tens of thousands of people will solve their problems and won't increase audits on the average person?
- ericd 4y agoIt might, the auditing level right now is extremely low. I was saying that it’s probably not the main point of the additional funding, though, so much as getting closer to a baseline of reasonably functional taxing authority. They’re currently drowning in even basic processing.
