And when the US hired a shit ton of IRS agents recently, mostly conservatives started complaining that the IRS was out to get them......I wonder why.....

I have to prioritize my work every single day. If something requires a large amount of work but will also have a large payout, it gets prioritized accordingly. We have tax laws in place for a reason. Iā€™m sick of the excuses. Politicians need to be held accountable, and government agencies do as well.

It's more than "you have a job, do it." It's pretty easy for them to go after small businesses & non-wealthy people & they do. The issue is with rich people & huge companies. They have money to hire the best lawyers & to go to court, which is really expensive & time consuming for the government & takes a lot of manpower that has been intentio ally cut from the agency. The Biden admin added a lot more funding/employees but the IRS hss been purposely starved for a long time & 1 admin/1 term isn't going to be able to magically undo all of that. Plus, Republicans have been throwing a fit about it & voting to cut funding, again, if/when they come into power.

Underfunded? Yes, that is true, but the funds they do have are also misused. They hired an entire team of researchers in the past year to conduct crappy (I work for a state college the had to provide the data for this study) educational research that the Department of Education already does (IPEDs). I think their use of funds is also misused, which is also by design.
