Like the EPA, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Department of Labor, Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, NASA, Department of Transportation, Department of Veterans' Affairs, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and the FCC, I guess the IRS is one of the departments and agencies you just cannot trust Republicans to administer in a just manner.
Foxes elected to the henhouse, yep.

The IRS has been systematically underfunded, especially with Republican control of Congress. Convenient, because it allows business owners and richer taxpayers who can afford to hire accountants to do "creative" bookkeeping to not pay taxes. And then the deficit caused by lost tax revenue justifies slashing welfare and social service funding.
Could go to Mars with that kind of cash
Wow, we should celebrate with more tax cuts. No point in having higher taxes if companies are just cheating the IRS.
Fuck it, just get rid of the IRS altogether. Now nobody pays taxes! Enjoy the money while it lasts, the army's coming by on Wednesday to grab their share, and they're not as easy to negotiate with as the Meals on Wheels people are...
Don't worry, it'll trickle down any moment now
