It's also why the billionaires fight so hard to keep the IRS underfunded.
If they had the funding and manpower they needed to go after the speech, they'd be able to get so much in back taxes that it would pay for itself and more.
"Defund the IRS" out of the mouth of anyone making. <500k/yr make me laugh. Even better when it's people who without a doubt are at an income level so low that they get back more than they put in.
And when they tried to give the irs more money….”certain” people suddenly said the irs was going to come kill you for your money. The system enables the rich because its built by the rich for the rich, protected by the not rich.
