Americans are justifiably outraged and disgusted with the recent revelations of how our tax dollars have been wasted through various agencies. Our new EPA chief Lee Zeldin compared the waste in his agency to “throwing gold bars off the deck of the Titanic”.
During his campaign, Pres. Trump repeatedly vowed to go through the federal budget line by line to eliminate waste and fraud. This was well received by voters. Unsurprisingly, a majority of ‘X’ users recently voted for DOGE to investigate the IRS, the most uniformly-hated agency in America.
We’re about to get our wish. With the news that DOGE will be auditing the IRS for waste, corruption, and fraud, the Left has responded with their usual hyperbolic fury. When you’re investigating corruption and fraud and people tell you to stop, it’s very likely you’ve found the corrupt people committing the fraud.
Said President Trump (I love writing that!), “The IRS will be looked at like everybody else.”
It’s about time. Americans have long been forced to rely on professional accountants or commercial software in order to prepare their annual income tax returns. Errors on these returns may result in costly audits and legal penalties. If you’re looking for guidance from the tax code itself, be prepared to wade through 75,000 pages of regulations.
In The Federalist No. 62, James Madison wrote,
“It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulged, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known and less fixed?”
