Millionaires who were behind on their taxes have already paid half-a-billion dollars to get current with the IRS as the agency ratchets up high-level tax...
Annual revenue is roughly $4.71 trillion for FY23. I can’t be sure if that includes the $500 million, but if we were to add it to the total revenue, it would be $4.7105, or roughly one tenth of one percent of the total. It’s also roughly 1-2% of the amount rich people owe that they aren’t paying.
Imagine if you ate at a restaurant with a large group, and when the bill came, it was $14,700. Everyone ponied up, but you were short on what you owed by $100. So you say, “let me run to my car because I have some extra money there.” You come back in with a dollar and two quarters.
Should we be excited? Is that a significant portion of what you owe? Is that a significant portion if the bill?
That’s my fucking point! THIS ISN’T A REPORT THAT THE RICH ARE BEGINNING TO PAY THEIR TAXES!! This is a report that the rich are continuing to get away with the overwhelming majority of their tax fraud.
Its a good start! Lets send them all digging through their cars. Especially when we know that each of these people actually has far more than a few coins that fell between the seats.
No, it’s not a good start. This isn’t fucking day one of taxes existing. Tax fraud is theft from everyone else. They owe all of it. Not 1%, not 1.5%, not 2%. They are deep in the hole, and have been for decades. This is 98% continuing tax fraud. A thief that only takes 98% of your wallet is not starting down the path to righteousness.

So you’re complaining that the rich are starting to pay their taxes and we gained half a billion them.
I’m complaining that the rich aren’t paying their taxes, and they are pretending that pocket change is a good start.
On a report of the rich beginning to pay their taxes, you are complaining that they aren’t paying their taxes.
That’s my fucking point! THIS ISN’T A REPORT THAT THE RICH ARE BEGINNING TO PAY THEIR TAXES!! This is a report that the rich are continuing to get away with the overwhelming majority of their tax fraud.

Fuck that, let’s just repossess their Lambos, Ferraris, Bugattis and whatever other gold plated platinum bullshit they own and sell it.
Why are we asking for loose change?

Haha. Well, I agree with you. I think they should pay 100%. I’m saying that its good that the needle is moving.
