DOGE's Cuts to the IRS Threaten to Cost More Than Doge Will Ever Save

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.

To be fair, these kinds of jobs are likely to be cut in the coming years anyway. Analyzing tax returns and searching for problems is a task well-suited for AI. It's digital. It's codified. It has to happen at scale. I would predict that within the coming years, many countries will begin running their tax returns through AI and only have human staff putting a stamp on it at the end.

All these cuts are for is to allow the very rich to cheat in their taxes.<p>Biden increased the budget in order to go after the very rich. The rich supported Trump for only 2 reasons:<p>1. Another tax cut, which will increase the Deficit.<p>2. Eliminate the IRS as a threat to the rich buy cutting the budget.<p>The cost to audit the rich is very high for the IRS, so the cuts protect people like Musk, Trump and many others.

Another victory for the ultra rich, and a loss for the broader public. You know, &quot;we the people&quot;.
