But based on this study showing that the IRS spends their time and money making life worse for low and middle class taxpayers...why would we want to give them more money and resources to do that?
Maybe there is a great ROI on going after people who can't afford it, but that doesn't make it's a good thing. I would rather those who need it, have it vs giving more money to Raytheon and Northrop Grumman for our war machine.
Because enforcing the law is the basis of a functioning society? If citizens don't like the laws, it's in their power to change that (assuming of course a functioning democracy where elected officials are not just vessels for corporate & wealthy people's will).
Promoting the non-enforcement of the law is both immoral and erodes the foundations of a civilized society.
I think promoting the non-enforcement of garbage laws is a benefit to society. Just a few years ago things like weed, gay marriage etc. were all illegal, so supporting them just because they're laws is silly.
