    How ironic, an organization designed to collect money let’s rich people slide, and they can’t afford enough qualified employees. Wonder what’s wrong with that picture… 🤔

    If they hadn’t been letting the rich slide, they wouldn’t be in that dilemma to begin with.

      They are not a for-profit organization. They get however much Congress gives them and that’s it.

        IRS collects taxes, taxes go to the government, to be distributed out for all the various governing organizations and government projects and such.

        A portion of that goes right back to the IRS to pay the employees, otherwise I’m pretty sure nobody would even go to work for the IRS. Non-profit doesn’t mean they work for free ya know.

        Now you’d figure that if congress wanted to rake in more tax money, they’d ya know, like actually want to fund the IRS a bit more and want to tax the rich.

      Please with the terrible takes. People with lots of money lobby governments to underfunded the irs so they can have more money.
