      I suppose - but like there decades worth of back taxes. 500 is a good start maybe, but we all know they are dodge taxes and being taxed at lower rates than poor an middle classs and you know what there is no point in even talking about it because itll just work me up and I can’t change anything so I’ll just keep focusing on my community instead. Thank you.

          No it isn’t, it’s a trick to make people think progress is being made so they don’t do something drastic.

              The IRS doesn’t have to unveil back taxes paid by millionaire households. They do it for a reason. Why do you think that is?

                Braindead reply as expected. How dare they show what they did with the new funding, its almost like they do need to on some level report on the results of now funding efforts so that they can continue to get said funding. Who knew a government organization would allow for some transparency between them and their government & civilians.

                Because for the first time in a long time, they got proper funding to do this task. That funding is now back under the gun, so any progress they made is evidence towards or against it continuing.

                  Yes, i.e. they’re trying to trick people into thinking progresses is being made. They’re presenting their nothingburger as some kind of win because they need a propaganda victory so people don’t do something drastic.

                    Reporting progress isn’t a trick. It’d be a trick if that number wasn’t true.

                    They equally could have said “we got 3.50 from em, everyone is following the rules”. Would that be a trick if that’s what happened?
