The tax gap (the gap between taxes owed and taxes collected) was $688B in 2021 -- nearly half the size
https://www.threads.net/@rbreich/post/C4y-bDCKWTF/?xmt=AQGzclGejRz833j0Irmq802MPlktM6s5KMorjmqav5FOpAThe tax gap (the gap between taxes owed and taxes collected) was $688B in 2021 — nearly half the size of last year’s deficit.
For every $1 the IRS spends auditing rich tax cheats, it can collect $12.
If the GOP truly cared about the deficit, they would fund the IRS, not gut it.
