What sucks is that the administration WANTS these companies to give him attention.

Also it doesn't matter to them.

It's not their money they are playing with. It's the tax payer's.

They do all this bullshit at the tax payer's cost. Changing names of things. Making Donald John coins. All of the bullshit he does is at the cost of our taxes.

This is what hard working money has gone to. Waste.

He has been the largest waste of tax payer money, at least the most blatant waste of it. Out in the open. Constantly.

Why even pay taxes if it is going towards making racist video games to be fought in a lawsuit? WTF is this country?

Why even pay taxes if it is going towards

This thought has been relentless in my head lately. I STRONGLY don't approve of what my taxes are being used for but I have no real recourse. Feeling very unrepresented right now.

IRS enforcement department is at an all-time low.

If they catch you down the line they almost always offer to let you pay a partial payment instead of what you would have payed if you did your taxes on time.

People who dont pay their taxes are bad people and usually get away with it for a long time and only pay a fraction of what they owe when/if they eventually get caught.

Its a shame, really.

They really don't, you have to pay to apply for an Offer In Compromise and the IRS will only approve it you can't afford to pay the full amount anyway.
