Where Does The Money Go?

Daily Agitator

I have bitch extensively about the economy and that the people are getting the short end of the shaft….but I was awake (as usual) at 0300 hrs and saw an ad for a tax problem agency and it got me to thinking about the whole tax relief thing…..

Let me ask my reader….do you pay your taxes on a regular basis?  Do you feel that you get a fair shake from the IRS?

Most Americans pay their debt to society through their taxes and yet some do not….the ad I am speaking of is from a firm that specializes in help tax evaders…..yes, I said tax evaders!

These people owe the IRS a large sum of money in taxes, they drag their feet in payment and wait for a deal to be offered that will let them pay a much smaller amount than what they owe…..the firm I am writing about says in their ad that they have saved tax payers $100 million so far….that is a $100 million that was owed to the country and they did not have to pay….can you say that?

My point is…because they are wealthy does not mean that they should be allowed to NOT pay their fair share…we have to pay….everyone should have to pay…..I mean the wealthy already have many many deductions that we normal people cannot use….then why do they get a free ride?

The Tea Party Groups are pissed off about taxes going up…..where is their rage against the tax evaders in their midst?  Oh my bad….they are wealthy also….then who stands with the “little” people on the tax thing?

People stop letting all this pass without a challenge!  If the one firm has saved the evaders $100 million then how much has the others saved?  Do you realize what all that money could fund with one simple law?  Maybe the deficit would not look so bad if we were getting all the tax revenue that is OWED…….

The IRS

For decades, if not longer, the IRS has needed to be replaced with something more efficient and the tax code has need scraping in favor of something more easily controlled.  There is every year about $290 billion  of revenue lost to tax loopholes.

There are 115,000 employees of the IRS with a budget of around $11 billion a year.

There have been many, many plans to help the taxpayer and to slim down the IRS, but so far all they can up with is a tax cut and more BS put into the code.  The American people need to stand for once and let their voice be heard.  Once it is heard they should make sure that the officials do as they are told or replace the SOBs with thoise who will do what they are told.
