Don’t Sic IRS On Racist Frat Boys
The Internal Revenue Service has about 90,000 people working for it. Around 20,000 or so are actual enforcement people. Those revenue agents and revenue officers are mostly trained as accountants. They are tasked with collecting over two trillion dollars. There are signs that they don’t have the resources do that job well enough. TIGTA recently reported that the collections division which has over eleven million delinquent accounts in its inventory hesitates to take automated collection actions, since they are unable to handle the resulting phone calls. In hundreds of thousands of cases, they know that alimony deductions do not match the income recorded by the recipients (You can guess which way that usually goes) but they can only investigate a small number of the discrepancies.

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.
