> I'm not sure who you think is concerned about the feelings of the IRS, The IRS isn't exactly mute and helpless. If the IRS came out at some inquiry and loudly said "Millionaires and billionaires can hire a tax firm to deal with these piles of paperwork we make people fill out, but it's a disgrace that normal people have to spend a great deal of time/money and life stress dealing with their taxes, when we already very likely know exactly what the upper theoretical bound of their tax payment is." > The corporate cash is literally the only reason they care. The reason for anything complicated cannot usually only be attributed to one reason. Money is always big influence, but so is power, and probably other variables. > The IRS doesn't vote. They're not literally voting, but they're choosing what benefits them the most, right? Are you familiar with an exploratory task force or committee being where ideas are sent to be killed? > Your theories of power are weird. My theories of power are literally the standard throughout all of human history. People very rarely voluntarily give up power that exists that benefits them. Giving up power is so rare that the very few examples of it we have in human history, such as George Washington declining power, are heavily celebrated.
