Kenneth, I have made it very clear what I want Congress to do, if you were unable to follow, I will explain one of the issues. In the US, Congress passes tax laws and requires taxpayers to comply. In fact, its mission statement states, "The I.R.S. role is to help the large majority of compliant taxpayers with the tax law, while ensuring that the minority who are unwilling to comply pay their fair share." Congress and the White Houses through the years, irregardless of party affiliation have not funded the IRS properly so that they can enforce payment by the dishonest. That amount based on the IRS National Research Program comes to $345 billion annually. Congress or politicians prefer to raise taxes and not enforce current laws. Why should the honest pay so much when Congress and the White turns their backs on the honest taxpayer, or attacks the highest taxpayers with additional increases. Congress is on vacation enriching themselves for future elections while doing little, but enough to serve their blinded partisans like yourself. You support a candidate that wants to raise taxes, has made no mention of collecting taxes from those that avoid taxes, and does so only to get elected. It is better to chose a politician that wants to enforce the laws instead of punishing those that do... If you are not aware of who represents the largest group of underreporting taxpayers, they are the nonfarm proprietor income category. Restaurateurs, the boss of a small construction company, or small time attorneys.
