I misread that as "what the revolving fuck". Gonna keep it.

Any truth to the rumor that the Trump family, relations and hanger-ons will take up more than half that workforce with their audits?

I wouldn't mind seeing some armed IRS agents going after the vile tax cheats I've read about.

Actually, the way every government agency charged with oversight operates that I’ve worked in or with does pursue the easier prey. That usually means large tax cheats or fraudsters get away with it, and anti-fraud measures are weaponized against middle and lower class families.

It would be nice to think the IRS would use new resources to go after bigger fish, but that’s never how it works unless some governing body mandates it that way specifically—and that is another fantasy that never happens in reality.

An 85-year-old body that has paperwork saying it's only 76.

I was gonna say that the 1% are popular with each other, but I remembered that there's nothing a 1%er hates more than another 1%er. 'How dare they have any of MY money!'

If they wanted to engage in public onanism they should have gone to Madison Cawthorne's cocaine orgies

I know it's probably some kind of sickness, but I love doing my taxes. I already opened up the TurboTax to respond to all their piddly questions so I can be ready when the numbers roll in.

My city has apparently hired some new folks in their tax office, because they have been corresponding with us about missing documents from our 2019 tax return. But I am so organized with that stuff I was able to get them what they needed over the weekend. So there!

The real republican ones, or the ones they told Maddie about?

Apparently I am a sadist. I had to abandon C-SPAN to pick up the grandchildren from school and I hated missing the re-immolation of McCarthy. Even at its worst, the Inquisition burned its victims only once.

They haven’t called it, officially b-b, but McCarthy Loses!

Maybe we Blues should pay more attention to GOP antics like this--which actually threaten to tip the country further toward oligarchy--and less tallying up George Santos' innumerable lies. The latter will come out in due time, just like Trump's taxes did, while the ultra-wealthy pursue their quest to rig the system evermore in their favor.
