[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 2659703, member: 56035"] im 180 pages into david cay johnstons book on the US tax system. a common theme through out the book is that the IRS wont go after the tax evasion from the rich because they are the political donor class. in the last chapter he was talking about partnerships and how guys in the IRS figured how rich people are avoiding tens of billions of dollars in taxes each year and they were gonna fix it but they couldnt because those are the people who pay for campaigns. and my thoughts are its ridiculous people fell for the whole "welfare queen" propaganda. poor people dont have money to influence politcians to get more welfare or to even have a decent system to begin with which you dont have. one of hte big things in the book is poor people are more likely to be audited than the rich. as ive said before recently, i work with some americans and one of them drew a very basic pyramid of power. on the top was the rich, then the politicians, then everyone else. but this guy lived in NYC and chicago so maybe thats why he has common sense...
