Your Government at work #2

2 pages of utter dishonesty. The IRS employees are over half, replacing retirees. Almost all of the rest are pointed to auditing the taxes of the wealthy and corporations who do not pay their taxes. A few are to be armed agents to go along with drug busts and contraband raids.

Okay...

That's in response to the IRS hiring 87,000 "new" agents, correct?

So, if half are replacing retiring employees, that means 43,500 are new adds. There are 2.8 million Americans who make over $400,000 and less than 1% (about 300,000 give or take) who make a million or more per year mixed into that.

There are about 200 to 220 work days in a year. Let's say 200 with vacations, sick days, and whatnot. That means to audit EVERY person in America making $400,000 or more per year, and each audit taking two days to complete and each requires a single agent, it requires 28,000 IRS agents. (2.8^6 / 100). This means there 15,500 new agents that have essentially nothing to do, and we haven't even added in the current number of agents to that.

Does anyone with even a scintilla of intellect think that only people making over $400,000 a year are going to be audited by this mass of agents? They will find things to do, and it won't be perpetually auditing just the "Rich." The IRS will be coming for you and me too.

You didn't factor in how lazy federal employees are.
