IRS collects milestone $1 billion in back taxes from high-wealth taxpayers

[Crepitus]

Joe Biden is doing great things for our country. The previous guy is on record bragging about avoiding taxes. Do you think he would have ever supported anything like this?

The IRS has collected $1 billion in back taxes from high-wealth tax cheats — a milestone meant to showcase how the agency is making use of the money it received as part of the Biden administration’s signature climate, health care and tax package

This flies in the face of the republican fearmongering that additional IRS funding would lead to the common man facing harassment and audits.

How much did he collect from the other 95%+? Did everyone pay their fair share, or do we still have nearly 50% of income earners paying little to no income taxes?

Cool deflection, bro.

You should start your own thread on it.

What's cool is over-taxing the rich, which won't produce long-term benefits. Go Joe! Meanwhile .. Joe and Democrats consistently talk about "paying their fair share" while nearly a majority of income earners do not.

Take you deflections elsewhere, as previously requested.

If the richie richs are paying their fair share, THEN we ca look at the others, yes.

Certainly .. I'll take the conversation about the majority of income earners who don't pay their fair share elsewhere. Cheers!

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

If we are getting the richey richies to pay our fair share, we can our time on the 95% and do it right,

Nobody wants to pay taxes. Federal bureaucracies pick on the easy targets first and that's middle class folks who don't have high powered tax lawyers. Be careful what you wish for because they will come knocking on your door next.

It's actually more than 50%... If you count illegal aliens who are on the receiving end of state and federal benefits it's closer to 60%. This is why a general consumption tax is the only way to go forward. The revenue would most likely triple.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

whitehall, they already have come to the other 95% more than the richie rich.

"fair share" is a weasel word that has no actual meaning besides "make them pay for my shit"

Which would probably fund the government for a total of about 1/2 an hour or so.

And how much did they spend getting that back?

If it is a 'weasel phrase,' then why are you opposed to collecting back taxes.

Oh, good. More money for the government:

I am not, but $1B funds the current federal government for probably 1/2 an hour, and one wonders how much the IRS spent to get that $1B back.

That's you problem, Marty, so figure it out and see if you have a point.

Why are you excited that the rich people were scrutinized, yet the other 50%+ didn't pay their fair share? Would the IRS pursue back taxes on Shaniqua working at Starbucks?
