My face is blue... one more time. If you don't like Tax Laws... support changing Tax Law.

3. Yes BUT

Now that the IRS will be receiving an influx of cash over the next 9 years, they will, hopefully, be able to perform audits more often and more thoroughly. I hope they decide to pay enough to that they can attract the best and brightest forensic accountants to come work for them.

The people and businesses cheat on their taxes because chances are, they'll NEVER get audited. It shouldn't be that way. Until we get better at collecting the fair taxes that are owed, even under the current laws, we would be much better off increasing the likelihood of audits to the point that people and businesses look at it as not IF they get audited but WHEN they get audited. That should increase voluntary compliance. Then we can start talking about new tax laws.

I would also change the current IRS whistleblower law:

You can get 15 to 30% of the amount the IRS collects because of your tip, but only if the amount is over $2 Million. That is just plain BS. I know a guy who hasn't filed income taxes in over 10 years, but it's unlikely he owes more than $200K.

I would also get rid of stepped up basis for heirs other than spouses. The United States shouldn't be in the business of perpetuating dynasties at the regular US taxpayers' expense.
