It has been a long standing fact that the IRS is positive ROI. Doesn't even require fraud on tax payer, taxes are hard for a lot of people. Any contact and essentially help is a good thing. Why we'd try and undermine that is forever baffling.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoBecause it’s not about efficiency, it is about cutting tax collection capability. Who stands the most to gain from this? The wealthy. They don’t believe they should have to pay the tax. They can’t change tax law without Congress, but they can cripple the IRS without them. Think like a threat actor.

I distinctly remember many college graduate peers that were still under the lie that getting a nominal raise may actually result in less take home pay because of taxes. Explaining how brackets work was something that was really frustrating for a time. I worry that it stopped being frustrating just because I stopped doing it. Not that it stopped being needed.
