IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel said that with a boost in federal funding and the help of artificial intelligence tools, the agency has new means of targeting wealthy people who have “cut corners” on their taxes.

“If you pay your taxes on time it should be particularly frustrating when you see that wealthy filers are not,” Werfel told reporters in a call previewing the announcement. He said 1,600 millionaires who owe at least $250,000 each in back taxes and 75 large business partnerships that have assets of roughly $10 billion on average are targeted for the new “compliance efforts.”

    Call it whatever you want. The unlimited piggy bank just needs to stop. They all need to be held accountable for every dollar spent as a start. End the corporate lobbying bullshit and have the government public servants actually serve the public. Not your comment but the one above about centrist shit, I don’t care about the petty squabble of which side does what. They are both bad. I’m not into picking the lesser of two evils.
