The IRS has now noticed that there is probably a whole lot of money being left out on the table out there that they could claim. It always seemed odd to me that the people that had the most ability to pay the IRS, were at the same time almost treated the most leniently.
I do feel that the impression is there that the super rich fill their tax returns with write offs and tax breaks and don’t really pay what they should. Now granted, I don’t know what the exact numbers are, but I do know what public perception is. Public perception certainly is that the super wealthy don’t pay the same percentage of their income back in taxes. It might have to do with the fact that they can hire the best accountants, but that certainly doesn’t make it right.
I have to applaud the IRS for this new enforcement unit, and hope that its actions go in line with the lofty goals that it has set. There really is no way that our government should be forced to cut spending on worthwhile efforts and programs, while these people are able to write off money that could be used to support the programs.
