minus-squareczech@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoYour comment would be accurate if it cost them $80B to recover $1B. Your own quote points out: $80 billion for the IRS over a 10-year period. Which makes your comments misleading, not accurate.
minus-squareanticolonialist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·3 months agoSo in other words it cost $8b to recover $1b? And this is seen as a good thing?!?! That make as much sense as toilet paper math
minus-squarenoneya@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·3 months agoIf the program costs $80B, then it costs $80B. And it’s taken in…well, lemme check my records…$1B. Sorry if my brain can’t do the mental hula hoops it takes to calculate that any other way.
minus-squareNaibofTabr@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoThe IRS cost $16B total to operate in 2023. Federal tax revenue in 2023 was $4.44T. This idea that you’re trying to project, that funding the IRS is somehow not worth the cost, is absolutely bonkers.
minus-squarenoneya@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·3 months agoThat’s not what the article says. I’m just reading and quoting.
minus-squareNerdrage717@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoTo be fair, if it costs 80b in 10 years and has only been implemented for 2 years, then it only cost 16b to recover 1b.
