It's unbelievable the greed shown here ... the people who pay already the lowest percentage in taxes compared to everyone else while being the richest people on the planet complain the most about having checked even their little tax.

Only people who cheated on taxes have to fear the IRS. Everyone now complaining about the IRS should be audited first.

Make sense: Dead cannot pay

@yeboscrebo4451 Care to elaborate what you mean ... and be careful I have my onions in order.

@yeboscrebo4451 In America they do. They pay between 5% and 11% thanks to various tax cuts, loopholes and the fact that most of their income is not based on earned income and therefore not part of the income tax. Or did you wanted to tell me income tax is higher for high earners? I did knew that, but there is a reason why most executives not get payed in wage. Want to try again?

@yeboscrebo4451 I don't care what you believe. My knowledge is not congesture but evidence based ... until I have other evidence. We will not get a decession here and it's pointless anyway. So you keep believing what you want and I keep searching for a better answer and until then I stay where I am. Good day. P.S. Attacking the messenger and not the message is a sign of a weak argumention. P.S.2: The average tax rate for normal workers in the us is between 27% and 22% ... not 4%. Every normal American can confirm you that.

@yeboscrebo4451 I can see what you do. You mixing tax rates (what people actually pay in taxes relative to all their income and the only thing what matters ... How much of your income goes out in taxes) and % from total tax income of the country. Or simpler put ... you mix apples with oranges and try to tell me you are right because of your oranges while I say I am right with my apples. And with that ... muddy the waters ... as always. Ironically you proved something else right for me thanks. The most extreme income inequality on the planet. That the lower 50% have barely enough income to be taxed. Really interesting is in any way just the top 1% and the remaining 99%.

@yeboscrebo4451 And there it is again. You keep repeating the same misleading comparison. Your number/comparson is completly void of meaning because it compares the percentages of total tax revenue and not the tax each person has to pay from his income. I give you an example how ridiculous your point is: Imagine a country with just 2 citizen: Imagine Citizen A has 100,000,000$ income and a tax rate of 1% paying 1 mio in tax. Imagine Citizen B has 100,000$ income and 10% in tax rate paying 10,000$ in tax. The total tax income would be 1,010,000$ The "lower bottom" 50% would be 0,9% of this and 99,1% would be the top 1% in this. This is what you are throwing at me all this time. The tax-rate of the low-wage earner would still be 10 times higher than for the rich guy although the rich guy earns 1,000 times more than the other. Meaning the poor guy has to give up 0,10$ from each dollar he earns while the rich guy only has to give up 0,01$ per dollar earned. And that considering that the rich has no issues paying the same tax rate or even a 90% tax rate would not have any impact on his life and still earn 111 times more than the other after taxes. He would just get richer a little slower. This is the unfairness. The same unfairness which exists in the US.

The IRS not really cares about your or my 100$ we might have missed, but the guys who "missed" millions for years and cost 370,000 million dollar each year you and I have to pay for because they did not payed.
