What is the purpose of this article? Is it to highlight that the IRS needs funding? Or is it to encourage people to not pay their taxes? It's weird to me that people don't see paying taxes as a social obligation to support the country that a lot of people claim to love. Me, I have some major hesitations about this country, but I still at least due the bare minimum to support it because it often means that my tax dollars can support others. I'm pretty convinced that tax day exists just so that political actors have a target to demonize the day the gov't comes and "takes your money." When in fact, the people who benefit the most from our tax structure (the wealthy) don't actually pay their share. But I think it's playing right into their hands to demonize this day. If you really want to stick it to Elon and Bezos, I think you have to pay your taxes to the best of your ability, and make the IRS' job easier so they have more time to get the money they're owed from the wealthy holdouts. But I know I'm in the minority on this one.
