Stop N scam with more IRS enforcement? Not if the Repugs have their way.

UCA has $100Bs of loopholes and tax scams/avoidance/evasion, but CC thinks N fraud is turrible.

How about the 1% self-declaring their investment income with no obligation of the investment payer to report? Any possible scam there? and the 50K Americans with secret foreign bank accounts? Any tax scamming there?

Yet you don't want any actions taken to make things like voter fraud harder. Why should we believe you don't want your extended family to be able to collect our tax dollars as well?

what voter fraud?

"want any actions taken to make things like voter fraud harder."

Voter fraud isn't a problem, even dubya's political hack US Attorneys couldn't find any (so he fired them). Vote counting fraud is a much bigger risk, eg, the Repugs stole OH in 2004.

House Republicans, seeing the heavy hand of a too-big government, beg to differ. They've already voted to cut the IRS budget by $600 million this year and want bigger cuts in 2012.

Repugs want less tax revenue (esp for their tax-avoiding/tax-evading benefactors)causing bigger deficit by reducing personnel for auditing and enforcement.

Corporate-Americans are big scammers, too

Apple Used Low-Tax States, Foreign Tax Havens To Dodge $2.4 Billion In Taxes Last Year

Apple’s headquarters are in Cupertino, Calif. By putting an office in Reno, just 200 miles away, to collect and invest the company’s profits, Apple sidesteps state income taxes on some of those gains.

California’s corporate tax rate is 8.84 percent. Nevada’s? Zero. [...]

Apple was a pioneer of an accounting technique known as the “Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich,” which reduces taxes by routing profits through Irish subsidiaries and the Netherlands and then to the Caribbean. [...]

Without such tactics, Apple’s federal tax bill in the United States most likely would have been $2.4 billion higher last year, according to a recent study by a former Treasury Department economist, Martin A. Sullivan.
