Starving the IRS: Boon for the rich
The GOP Congress seems to be determined to starve the IRS, which as it is doesn't have nearly enough staff or even tax forms. The effect already is to encourage even more tax cheating, particularly by the rich. They can afford the fancy tax lawyers and accountants to game the system even more than they have been doing. Someone must help offset the loss in revenue, and that will be poorer people who aren't tax-cheats, though most of their tax is to help pay for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, not income taxes.
