Trump Tweet On Universities Invokes Specter Of Supreme Court Bob Jones Decision
Now in the Trumpian view of the universe, public policy is what President Trump says it is. So protecting the kids from “Radical Left Indoctrination” is public policy. If any of that is going on at your university, as the Soup Nazi would put it – No exemption for you.
Make The IRS Great Again
Regardless, there are some people who instead of honing selling and political skills become great accountants. Some of them are very compliance oriented. They get frustrated by things not being right, because things should be done right, because right is right even though the client doesn’t want to pay for it and the IRS will never figure it out.
That’s who the IRS should be hiring. In many areas of tax practice the best and the brightest work for the IRS for a few years, then go into public accounting or the law firms for much bigger money. The IRS should turn the tables and grab up the compliance-oriented people who know where the bodies are likely buried. IRS could offer good benefits, a better work life balance and a great deal of perverse satisfaction.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
