Summary
The IRS announced it has recovered $4.7 billion in back taxes and criminal proceeds since receiving $80 billion in funding through the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
This includes $1.3 billion from wealthy tax dodgers and $2.9 billion from criminal investigations.
Despite these gains, the IRS faces funding cuts: $1.4 billion was rescinded earlier, and $20 billion is frozen or redirected under recent budget deals.
Republicans, under a new majority, aim to further reduce IRS funding and renew Trump-era tax cuts. Trump has nominated Billy Long as the next IRS commissioner, drawing criticism from Democrats.
Oh yes, I read a book about that and it was quite funny actually. The Free State Project is actually something I am interested in and have considered moving for myself, but it’s still in the United States, which is under the tyranny of the federal government, so it might not be worth it. Unless they succeed in actually seceding from the Union.
I think you missed the point of the book, the FSP is a failure. You can’t build a society of people who reject society.
Libertarians want to create a voluntary society which is by definition a society.
Only if it works (it doesn’t).
