They estimate they'll only recover a little over 10% of the $ 215 billion in taxes owed. Small businesses are often a source of lost taxes. They go out of business before they pay the full taxes owed. That's why I think one should have low flat tax to make it fairer for people who pay their taxes, and use a sales tax to capture some of the revenue that the cheats won't pay otherwise.

Ok, some republicans cheat on their taxes as do some democrats. My server has merged for better service and gotten really slow, like click next, have a birthday and there is next, so I'm way behind. You were talking about the Brady Bill earlier. Funny old Jim gets drug out on every gun vote and can't get out of his wheelchair, in the Illinois Department of Conservation Newsletter, he rides horses every day. The Brady Bill had nothing to do with assault weapons. The biggest stymie to assault weapons was Bush. He declared the AK 47 illegal to import after it was used in a school yard shooting. The NRA came out against Bush, Big Time. My dad got me a membership when he signed me up for gun safety classes 35 years ago and I got a letter telling me not to vote for Bush. Guess he was a dupe of the NRA. Now on the other hand Clinton's pal Bentson who was in charge of the Alcohol, Tax and Firearms let 300,000 Ak's in with a minor change. He quit when this was discovered by 60 Minutes.
