    The IRS cost $16B total to operate in 2023. Federal tax revenue in 2023 was $4.44T.

    This idea that you’re trying to project, that funding the IRS is somehow not worth the cost, is absolutely bonkers.

      That’s not what the article says. I’m just reading and quoting.

        Yes. But as soon as you realize you’ve left out important information or someone else adds important information, it’s important to accept that into your reasoning. It seemed like you were fighting back at them in your replies, and doubling down on your initial claims which you now know weren’t complete. You weren’t wrong with the information you had at the time when you commented, but it made you look stubborn by not being willing to accept new information or learn. Just my two cents as an outsider.
