The end of IRS enforcement

Don’t like income taxes? Next year, don’t pay ‘em. Who’s gonna force you to?

“DOGE is also in the process of essentially closing down the Tax Division at the Department of Justice.

“Since the Tax Division is a statutory creation, it can’t literally be shuttered. As DOGE has done at numerous other offices and agencies, the entity is kept notionally alive in a zombie state of suspended animation: a few employees, a desk lamp and a couple workstations. That’s the legal fig leaf that allows the White House, with a compliant judiciary, to say that it hasn’t violated any congressional statute or terminated one of Congress’ creations. It’s simply choosing a new strategy of enforcement.

“What they plan to do is essentially “reform” and “reorganize” the Tax Division out of existence. The plan is to dramatically reduce the number of Tax Division staff attorneys and then take the great majority of those that remain and disperse them out to the country’s 93 U.S. attorneys’ offices. Only a small managerial layer is to be left working from Washington, DC.”

It’s the 1% who make their money through complex schemes that require government tax accountants to figure out. Get rid of those folks and you have an IRS in name only. Only the little people pay taxes under Trump.
